I promised to blog once a week, so I will honor my commitment.
Just as I suspected, I'm not a very good nurse, but I'm trying. Cliff often rolls his eyes very affectionately and compassionately. Serving the right meals, at the right time is really difficult. The food needs to be bland, nutritious and protein rich. Before this, we were on a salad regime. What a change!
The worst part in all of this is I'm not keeping up with my thank you notes and such. I'm a bit overwhelmed. We are being showered with the most beautiful words, most thoughtful gifts, and interesting jokes. Groaners mostly. But they work! Cliff and I read them to each other since they are coming from all kinds of directions - and they work. We either smile, grin, chuckle, groan or roll our eyes in amazement. They are truly a gift - all of them.
We are also being supported in prayers and blessings.
Just the other day, someone (who is looking after her mother) said that she looks for the treasures in each day - those moments that are memorable. She feels honored to walk with her mother through the valley of shadows.
I would agree -- there is something very special about this time we are sharing together... I am very grateful for this time.
And I am very grateful to everyone who has been in touch with us in whatever way!
Wow are we blessed! Our days are filled with treasures!
