Stroke and Alzheimers - Each Day a Gift

All Three Sisters Together!
We made T-shirt scarves and got our picture in the bathroom, since no one was around to take our picture. Mom is having a real hard time physically lately. She needs help in and out of her bed - but every day she gets dressed and all beautiful - God bless her lovely heart.
SO fun to have just us - girls that could gang up on dad - or at least try to
On their way to dinner, they got stuck behind super slowpokes, so speed racer mom took a short cut to beat them old folks - go speed racer! They make a good couple - he has the working body and she has the working brain. He is doing really well, considering the frightful years ahead. She is 83, he is 84. 

Del and June do so much for mom and dad, we could never thank them enough. However, Del does not like his picture taken in the event it may end up on the internet. They joined us for a lovely veggie burger at Bonaventure.


Sometimes I just stare at my mom - she is so beautiful. I think it is her faith and trust in Jesus that makes her shine so - I really do.

We have all been worried about dad not eating enough, so while Janice took mom to a movie in the wheelchair van, I took dad to lunch. He "wasn't real hungry" but ate a big bowl of soup, bread, hot crab sandwich, and this pie! This is the "before" picture.
And it's GONE! ALL of it - you GO dad!

He really needed attention to his nails - so we got mani and pedi's. He loved it.
While dad and I ate and pampered, Janice and mom bawled at Les Miserables. Beautiful women!
