Help Coming
So, I found out I have COVID. I wasn’t too surprised as it’s everywhere. But now the concern is for my mom. I have been following all the precautions since I started feeling bad and doing my best to stay away from her. I contacted a caregiving service that we tried out with my dad […]
Help in Sickness
I suppose it was inevitable that I would get sick some day. Saturday night a fever came on and did me in. I am grateful for my sister who was here today and took care of my mom and me. I am grateful for my son who ran an errand for me. I am grateful […]
Angels Among Us
A friend of mine’s mother was taken to the Emergency Room last night with difficulty breathing. She asked everyone for prayers. Of course she was pretty scared. Later in the day, her mom was doing better as she responded to the treatment she was given. My friend was thanking God and everyone for their prayers. […]
Little Decorating
Mom and I got most of her pre-Christmas projects done, so we were able to start a little decorating. I took advantage of a warm day a few weeks ago and got the outside lights up. Yesterday we got out the creche and her collection of locally handmade dolls. They took their place prominently on […]
Bocelli Music
On the Hallow app which I use daily, they have Advent/Christmas music by the Bocelli family that I listened to tonight. Of course, it was beautiful. There was also a quote by Andrea Bocelli, “I do not think anyone can ever do anything without the help and will of God.” What a blessing it was […]
Keeping Connections
Tonight I went to a friend’s house for dinner with people I have known for about 30 years. As usual there was catching up and a lot of laughter. One of the ladies contacted a couple of others who lived far away so we could all wish Merry Christmas. She is one who makes sure […]
Honoring Our Lady of Guadalupe
For many years, I have been wanting to have something beautiful to look at in the window well of my room. I thought about an outside saint or angel statue, but found them to be so expensive. This summer, my sister and I were out and about and stopped in a shop that contained all […]
The Pitchfork
When my mom and I were out and about in the car today, we followed a flatbed pickup truck. When we came to a stop light, I noticed there was only a large toolbox in the back of the truck and a pitchfork. I pointed it out to my mom and told her how odd […]
A Christmas Party
Today I took my mom to the annual Parkinson’s group Christmas party. We had not been to it for 3 years – though that was hard to believe. The group had a gift exchange, but we chose not to participate. However, shortly after we sat down, a woman came up and just gave my mom […]
One of the Good Ones
I was talking to a friend yesterday who told me a story about her husband. He had a very rough drive home the other day with road closures and detours. Just when he thought he was in the clear, he ran over an obstacle in the road that he couldn’t avoid. There was a loud […]
