Look of Love
I always look forward to Holy Thursday. Maybe that is strange. But to me the day offers so much symbolism and meaning to contemplate. I went to Mass this evening and the scripture readings included the story of Jesus’ last supper with His apostles. At the meal, Jesus washed the feet of his friends. He […]
Safe From Snowstorm
We had quite the snow storm today. The wind was blowing so hard there were white out conditions. On several occasions, I could not see the houses across the street. I watched as one white car carefully made a turn onto a side street and immediately disappeared. I was particularly worried about my sister. She […]
Reassurance
My parents and I spent the day at assorted doctor’s appointments today. My dad had a follow up with his primary care doctor after his hospitalization. Then both my mom and dad went to the cardiologist. My mom then went to pacemaker clinic to get her information from the last 3 months downloaded – which […]
Finally Haircut
I have needed a haircut for a while and have even had a couple of appointments set up. Unfortunately, I had to cancel them due to circumstances beyond my control. It has been quite a hectic week and I was glad to actually be able to go to my appointment today. The best part was the […]
Palm Sunday
Palm Sunday. Today my parents and I watched the Mass on TV celebrated with Pope Francis. It was beautiful, of course. My dad commented on all of the crowds who were there in person from all over the world. The faith really does unite people. Regardless of what language you speak, the celebration of the Mass […]
Merciful Love
My mom and I have been reading a book based on the writings of St. Therese of Lisieux. Today my mom read a particular paragraph to my dad and me. It talked about how in Therese’s childhood, she was very emotional and anxious. Her faith was based on God’s Justice. She worked hard to build […]
Grateful Dad
I spent the day today “hovering” over my dad as I wouldn’t let him walk around at all without me beside him. The good news is that his world is no longer spinning. He felt somewhat dizzy and weak from too many days with no food. But I could even see improvement from morning to […]
Down, But Not Out
After taking my dad to the Emergency Room for severe dizziness, the doctor sent us home with some heavy medication. The doctor did warn us of it’s potency, but the hope was to help calm things down. I gave my dad one pill the next morning. He slept for a couple of hours and was […]
Oh No, Vertigo
The other day my dad woke up early in the morning very dizzy. We did what we could to help him get through it and made him an appointment with his doctor. Unfortunately, he got so dizzy and nauseous that he couldn’t even get up from a lying position, much less make it out to […]
Making Candy
A couple of years ago, a friend and I spent an evening making Easter candy out of chocolate melts. She also taught me how to make a homemade version of Cadbury Eggs. They were fun to make and delicious to eat. Last year I missed doing anything like that. This year I decided I wanted to […]
