Trading Places

Last week my sister went to stay at a friend’s house, so my brother came and stayed with me and my mom. It has been almost a year since he left out of state. After showing him a few different ways that we have been doing things, we just slid back into a routine that […]

Fearless

In church today, I was happy and surprised to see some friends of mine. The husband has cancer and was told by the doctors he has only a few months to live. I have seen them via Zoom for prayer meetings and have stopped by their house a couple of times. He says he is […]

Despair, Dependency, Determination

I have been listening to readings of the Psalms recently. They are beautiful and like most of scripture they are timeless. What was written thousands of years ago could just as well have been written yesterday. I continue to be surprised as to how the themes flow from despair in one Psalm to dependency and […]

Encouraging Doctor

My mom had an EKG today to make sure all is well before starting a new medication. The nurse who performed the test was very nice and gentle. Once it was finished, my mom’s favorite heart doctor came in the room. He said the test looked good and we discussed the potential new medication. Then […]

Lots Of Help

I had my annual doctor’s appointment for myself today. I was very happy that we have connected with a caregiving service and was able to schedule someone to come over to be with mom. She was very nice, as they all are. Later in the day my sister left to be out of town for […]

All The Weather

Mom and I had been anticipating the first day of summer and it was finally here. The morning was just beautiful with the warm sunshine and blue sky. My mom wanted to go for a longer walk so she could see her mountain. It was good we got the wall on early as after lunch, […]

Longevity Club

After many, many months, I took my mom to have lunch with her friends. This group started with people from the music society that my mom belonged to until some 20 years ago. On the way there, my mom talked about the group and how there were more than 20 people who would meet for […]

Starbucks On Dad

My mom had some energy this morning and made it to church. During Mass, the priest talked about Father’s Day. He said if our father has died, we  should pray for him to be with our Heavenly Father. We can also ask for his intercession to pray for the fathers who are still here, doing […]

Fun Family Time

We had lots of family over today. My sister, her husband, and my brother went to the cemetery and put some flowers on my dad’s grave, then came for a visit. My son and family came over also. My mom played her favorite game Sorry with my daughter in law, grandson, and granddaughter. Then I […]

A Good Day

I was able to do yoga and some cardio exercise before taking a shower and starting my day this morning. I haven’t done that in a very long time. That gave me good energy that permeated throughout the day. When mom got up for the day, she was moving very well. She continued to move […]
