Family Unity

Thursday I spent the evening in Eatonville at the farm house with Enayat, Zia, Josh and Neda. The farm house has been fixed up pretty well for a short stay. The plan now is for Enayat to visit Zia and Josh in Massachusetts and follow up on his health care needs while he is there. Unless he gives in and elects to have dialysis, we don't know how long he will last. Yesterday I drove him to the Post Office and he had more nausea. He also has pitting edema on his legs again.

Enayat's first wife Judy came by and saw him for the first time in many years. I think it was a good visit for both of them, and a chance to heal and to reconcile any remaining feelings after their marriage dissolution. There we were in the upstairs room where Enayat stays--the room he loves because of the windows looking out on farmlands, and all the light--Enayat, me, his daughters and son in law, and his former wife, having a wonderful visit. Neda and I sorted out photos, Judy helped with some paperwork from the hospital, and Zia combed Enayat's hair, while Enayat visited, and spoke with relatives on the phone. Judy had sent over some delicious lasagna, and downstairs we ate some wonderful watermelon.

The Friends of Enayat Reunion Potluck will be held Saturday, June 2 at 2 PM in Glacier View Park in Eatonville. Everyone is welcome who cares to come.
