~Holiday Gift Suggestions For Homebound 'Mighty Oak'???
HELP I am at a loss, I ususally never ask him what he wants for Christmas but I did this year and with no help from him (he said maybe his health which if I could of I would have bought him 2006!!). He has spent much time in the house lately and is going stir crazy, not to mention that he gets lonely without me bothering him like the weekends..LOL! You know the drill...home all day, nothing on ALL cable stations, too sick to leave the house, too fatigued to have a hobby. His fingers are not the same so he cannot even play his guitars, the keyboards, video games etc. His eyes will not allow him to read anything at this time, the newspaper is all he can handle. This man is a very sick little boy right now as he wages to win a war and I need to make comfortable while he trudges forward.
Any ideas of what I could get him?? He always gives such wonderful gifts to me. With another growth ring coming up (hehe) I wanted to make this holiday season special for him. We are working on time we did not expect to get and I think of that as a gift in itself. Only things missing are the gifts under the tree.
What did you want when you were homebound, fatigued and under the weather?? Something NOT cancer related. And Pink....he does not eat chocolate..LOL!!>>Believe
PS: I did not want to bother anyone with this but I am totally in the dark.
