The Gardens in Fall
Yesterday I went to visit my sister and her husband. It was a beautiful Fall day, so my sister and I went to the Botanical Gardens. Our first stop was the orchid show. I took lots of photos of the unique orchids to show my mom. Outside, there was certainly a different kind of beauty […]
Look to the Littles
A friend of mine is a teacher. She said she has been having a very difficult year so far and has been very stressed out. However, her day was brightened today with a couple of unexpected interactions with some of the kids. She was reminded to just look to the littles for happiness. I Found […]
Excited For Help
When we last visited my mom’s new primary care physician, she recommended a few sessions of in home therapies. The provider came today to assess mom and see how they could best help her. She was super nice, observant, patient, caring, and knowledgeable. My mom played the piano for her and she was very impressed. […]
Peaceful Cabin Trip
The last time we went to the cabin, my mom was having a very difficult time getting into the bathroom. She’s a little more unstable than she was and the walk through doorways are super small, so her walker wouldn’t fit through. Determined to resolve the issue, I found a smaller, lighter, 3-wheeled walker online […]
Grateful Heart
My mother is probably the most grateful person I know. She constantly thanks everyone for everything they do for her and she truly means it. During the day she will thank me for meals, for helping her, for taking her places, even for the pills she has to take. She thanks my sister and I […]
Whatever You Want Day
It was a cold, foggy, drizzly day today. Mom asked this morning what was on the agenda. I answered that there was nothing on the calendar, no appointments, no commitments. Mom could do whatever she wanted to. The day went something like this – “Do you mind if I play the piano?” Of course, I […]
Sweet Dog
My son went out of town for the day, so we said we would take care of his dog for the day. She has come over several times and we are getting to know one another pretty well. When my son left her in the morning, she looked out the window and door for him […]
Triple Threat
After a busy week, both my sisters were here today. The three of us took care of cleaning, cooking, projects, and mom. It felt good to have the support and get things accomplished that need to be done. I am so grateful for my sisters. I Found God today in my sisters.
Made It
My sister started her first full week of working remotely from the house. When my brother was here some months ago, he started setting up a nice work space in the basement. My sister added some of her components and that’s what she’s been using. My mom and I barely heard her until she would […]
New Vision
My mom received a new prescription for eye glasses the last time she visited her ophthalmologist. She had been using reading glasses, but they just weren’t working well any more. Then we made a trip to get some glasses set up for her. Today we picked them up. When my mom put on the glasses, […]
