Oh Happy Day
Through the rain sprinkles, I am having a happy day. Why not!
I didn’t even mind going through the grocery store as the refrigerator was threatening to disconnect its own light if something wasn’t put in it.
I went to visit a friend, Dee, this afternoon. There wasn’t much I could do but spend some quiet time with her. Her husband has been in Memory Care in Onamia for five weeks now. It’s too far for frequent visits. There was no opening anywhere closer. He calls her every evening and asks her when she will pick him up from work, as he is ready to come home.
In 1973, or there abouts, Ester Schafer, the kid’s grandmother needed a hospital stay. From there she needed to spend time in the Buffalo Lake Nursing Home. They call them Care Centers now. It was only four miles to go and see her and we did it everyday. Sometimes with Carrie and Kevin, sometimes I would go alone when the kids were in school. Each and every time Ester would ask me to please take her home with me. Just thinking of that now, makes me feel sad. I really feel horrible for Dee.
With groceries unpacked, we have warded off a wellness visit.
After some sadness, I am finishing out this day with a cup of coffee. Dennis kept it hot for me. Most of all I will retire this evening, knowing for what was in my ability . . . I had a happy day. I had a very happy day.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
