I am glad you are now aware how we unintentionally ignore our loved ones when we are socializing. Thank you for helping me understand that when caught up in conversations, I forget about Will because I don’t have this at home. I am grateful for this insight because I am working to change this.
However, if I am talking to someone about an important matter and he tries to interrupt me because he wants me to leave with him, I tell him to go home and I’ll meet him there. Fortunately, we live in a Senior apartment building so he is safe to come and go while he is inside without me. I found out while walking the halls with him one day that he uses the stairs located in a separate location inside the building. If he fell, he would not easily be found because most of us use the elevators. I’m glad I found this out and told him not ti walk the stairs without me. Whew!
