2 weeks after July 4th, Matteo had arranged to move his mom into the retirement community.
It was on a Friday, and he took off work that day to start packing some of her belongings.
"Do you want me to take off work early and help you out at all?" I asked him.
"You don't have to." Matteo said, "Really. And please don't think I am shutting you out- because I'm not- but I think it would be easier if I took her there myself. I'm planning on bringing her, and then dropping off most of her belongings after she settles in. I already brought some of her clothes over. She might get confused if someone else but me is there. She gets really paranoid. I'm sorry-
"Matteo. It's fine. I understand." I said, reassuring him, "I want it to be as seamless for you as possible."
