Made Me Happy
Last night, my son and I went to see the movie, “The Greatest Showman” inspired by the life of P.T. Barnum. If you haven’t seen it yet and want to, spoiler alert – – you may not want to keep reading until later. I didn’t know much about the movie before I went, just that […]
Mom Found God
As I was thinking about what to write tonight, I asked my mom where she found God today. We chuckled a little, because she had a really difficult time at Mass this morning. She struggled to find the readings, couldn’t find the songs in the hymnal, and couldn’t hear the priest. There was also a […]
Yesterday’s Tomorrow
The other day when my mom went to the neurologist, he tested her cognition. One of the “brain teasers” he gave her was: If today is Thursday, what is the day before the day after tomorrow? And then the other way: What is the day after the day before yesterday? She really struggled with those […]
Funny Dad
Today I was out and about during a very busy time of day. As I was sitting at a stop light, I noticed the driver in the vehicle behind me shaking his head around like he was head banging to music. Then he turned around looking towards the back seat. I was curious as to […]
Finally Found Physician
Today we finally got my mom in to see a new neurologist. We had seen and heard him a couple of times at the Parkinson’s support group. He spent a good amount of time with her asking questions and doing tests. We came armed with some questions, but he answered almost all of them without […]
Neighbor’s Faithful News
Today in celebration of pi day, I made an apple pie and we had our neighbors over. They told us that they had been struggling the past week or so as the husband’s sister was in the hospital. She was found unresponsive in her room in the senior living building. The doctors had been working […]
Surprise Blessing
My mom, dad, and friend went to lunch today. Before we left, my mom and I made a stop in the restroom. As we made our way to the front door to exit, we could see my dad and friend outside talking to a stranger. We wondered what it was all about. By the time […]
Coloring Book
Quite a while ago, my sister and I bought a couple of coloring books and some colored pencils. We thought it would be a good activity for my mom and anyone else in the house since we heard it is supposed to be relaxing. I looked at the pictures to decide which one I wanted […]
Beautiful Bird Song
Today was more mild than yesterday so my mom and I went out for our walk. The sun was warm and they air was crisp. We noticed a little greenery popping up here and there. Birds were chirping in the trees. We came to one very large evergreen and just as we reached it, the […]
The Lonely Widow
My mom and I planned on going for a walk today, but we missed our window of opportunity in the morning. The wind picked up and the clouds came over. By the afternoon, we were itching to get out, so we bundled up and headed down the sidewalk. After a bit, we spotted a person […]
