Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri and daughter number 1 ( the one who wears her heart on her sleeve) took Bob and "Al" to a dear friends wedding last evening. There are just so many things Sheri did not think of that made Bob and "Al" uncomfortable on this outing. In the church, Bob wound up being on the end of an inside aisle. Usually this a good thing as then he has more room to stretch out his legs, because his knee cramps up. But this also meant then at the end of the ceremony when the bride and groom greeted everyone row by row, that "Al" would be the first in their row. They were probably 12 rows back from the front, and as the bride and groom moved closer with each row "Al" would turn to Sheri and ask who these people were and what he was suppose to do, this happened over and over again. Sheri could see he was very nervous and uncomfortable about the situation, so Sheri encouraged daughter number 1 to discreetly move past both of them so she would be first in the row to greet the bride and groom, making it less stressful on Bob and "Al". The reality is that anything out of the routine of day to day life becomes a stressful event for Bob and "Al", Sheri is not ready to stop bringing him with her places, but she does need to think things through, and just needs to be more and more creative. :)
