Join us for a memorable family lunch at the Blackbird, nestled within the iconic Nielson Tower, where exquisite cuisine meets stunning panoramas.

Family was informed by their friends to try  Blackbird at the Nielson Tower  and asked Mom Violy if she has ever been there before. Mom Violy had no clue what it was asked Carmina to look it up and see what kind of food they serve.  Carmina gave the phone number to Mom Violy make a reservation for a family lunch. On the day of the reservation, we arrived early and were allowed to enter before the official opening time of eleven o’clock in the morning. We decided to stay in the lobby, where we were asked if we wanted anything to drink. Carmina took videos inside and learned about the history by talking to the staff. One hour later, people started coming into the restaurant and took their seats at the reservation table, browsing the menu to decide what to order. Our family members were running late, but we didn’t get bored thanks to the friendly staff.

How to Deal with In-Law's As They Aged

You never knew when you spend less time with someone. You just realize when you decide to have dinner with your in-law's. You see something different from them. My father in-law is not capable of seeing anything in front of him. He questions what food has been cook. Can no longer identify the food in front of him.

You notice his shirt that he is wearing is reverse which the tag from the back is now in the front. He doesn't seem to notice any difference.

He starts to walk slower at his pace.

He can't hear well even if you are talking louder than you should.

He laughs when you say something.

You realized something is changing and no matter what you can't feel sorry for them aging this way.

How do you cope with it someone living in your home being this way?

I see my sister in-law coming to the house to check on him on a daily basis.

They are so worried and concern of their father who has changed so much in less than a time.

Mother in-law patiently serves her husband just like your taking care of a kid. She maybe hurting inside seeing her husband being this way. But, not showing her emotional feeling.

As we aged there are a lot of things our body and mind cannot cope when we are taking too many medication in our system.

The hard part when they still are in denial not realizing they are turning to be a different person.

I realized this point when someone close to you is changing you need to change for them. You need to be there for them even if they don't appreciate the things you do for them.

Only God knows you work so hard to make that person safe and you worry for them as they are changing every time.
