The Shopping Spree
My mom lost a lot of weight when she started getting very ill a couple of years ago. Since then, she has been wearing clothes that are too big, but she hasn’t had the energy or stamina to go clothes shopping. It is just too much to walk around a store, find a style she […]
Appreciating the Elderly
Today I went to the grocery store just to pick up a few things.
