Aunt Helen’s Room

About 10 years ago my mom asked my husband to finish a section of her basement to make a bedroom and bathroom for my Aunt Helen. It was really nice and made it so much easier for Aunt Helen than having to climb the stairs at night to use the bathroom.

Aunt Helen has been gone for just over a year and that room is still called “Aunt Helen’s room.” I guess that’s what it will always be. I thought about sleeping in there while caring for my dad but it’s a little damp there right now. My mom needs to get a new dehumidifier but hasn’t had time yet.

Right now she’s considering a few of the Santa Fe dehumidifiers but I suppose she won’t make a final decision until she gets home from her knee surgery. Until then, I just use Aunt Helen’s room to watch TV while I fold clothes out of the dryer. Maybe when my mom has her other knee done, I’ll be able to stay in Aunt Helen’s room.
