The Sitter
Today my grandson came over to hang out with my mom for a little bit while I ran an errand. He brought his little sister who didn’t have school today. They all made PBJ and butter sandwiches for lunch. When I returned, my grandson dropped off his sister and headed to my son’s house. My […]
Grateful for Care
My mom and I visited my dad this afternoon. Unfortunately, he was fast asleep. My mom tried to gently wake him several times, and he actually opened his eyes once, but he was not going to get up. He has been especially sleepy since COVID and it’s probably better for him to sleep a lot […]
Back Inside
I made an appointment for my mom and I to visit with my dad this afternoon. They have been scheduling only outside visits as they make their way through this COVID breakout. When we arrived we were given the good news that the facility is COVID free and could resume indoor visits. That was great […]
Just a Sprinkle
Yesterday, my sister and mom went to visit my dad. Evidently he had a bad night and didn’t sleep much. So, when they came for their visit, he was fast asleep. The caregivers were somehow able to get him up and outside for a brief period of time, but I guess he was pretty out […]
To Love Them
The other day, my son and I were talking about his dogs. The first dog they got is calm and sweet and almost never gives them trouble. Then they got another puppy. She’s the opposite and is quite crazy. I told my son that I didn’t understand why they got another dog, when the first […]
Crew at the Zoo
My daughter-in-law has a friend visiting this weekend. I told her I would be happy to take them out and about somewhere. They chose to go to the zoo. So, we all went. There were 10 of us total, including my mom, my sister, both my sons, the grandkids, and my daughter-in-law and her friend. […]
Loving Actions
Today is the feast day of St. Therese of Lisieux. I received a bag in the mail today that had a picture of her and the words, “Do all with love”. My sister of the same name came this afternoon and I gave her the bag. In my opinion, everything she does is with love. […]
Blessed in Relationships
Last night I met with my prayer group online for the first time in over 2 months. I somewhat touched base with them during that time and it was great to be with them. I asked my son if someone would like to come sit with my mom so I could have this little bit […]
Our COVID Story
It all started a little over 2 weeks ago when we found out the facility that my dad is in had a couple cases of COVID-19. They were no longer allowing indoor visits, but we were happy to visit outside still masked, of course. We were also happy that we had all been vaccinated. After […]
Giant Incense Burner
Ever since I saw the movie, “The Way” with Martin Sheen, I have been fascinated with the Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James. There are actually several different pilgrimage trails called the Way, but they all end at the Cathedral of St. James in Santiago de Compostela, Spain. The Cathedral is believed […]
