I love that movie (Never Ending Story)! If you know it, you'll recall the childlike princess at the end saying "say my name!" several times. Well, Con/Mom said my name yesterday! I was putting myself in her phone calendar and I asked her what name should I put in (I have a few LOL) and she got it right out! Joyful day! Must have been all of that sunshine we were blessed with!
She's doing wonderful! She was lifting her balloon and working on that right arm/hand diligently. After, we sat in her bed together while the electrodes did there work and we chatted.....so grateful that God gave her ability to speak back to her! So many don't regain that. There are so many good things happening we need to celebrate them!
Her faithful dog, Jack, waited patiently for her to finish her exercises. Con/Mom stays clear of the pool (for safety) so I put the hose in under the cover to fill it while Dad/Dave was on a refreshing bike ride. Jack didn't want to come in and he hopped right up into a chair into a little ball, as hard as that is to believe because he's huge! lol
Sister Sue did some much needed weeding last week and we'll finish up this week so the beautiful garden Con/Mom has worked so hard on all these years can continue to bring joy to all! Speaking of flowers, (get the tissues out) Con/Mom was telling me that she takes three daffodils out of the garden and places them by Dad/Dave's bedside because he likes them. He brings her coffee and she brings him flowers. Sigh. The romance continues to bloom despite the fatigue and arduous circumstances.
We missed her in church today along with her church husband, Clarence. :( He is battling a few medical issues so our row is a little low right now, but sister Sue, Auntie Carol and I hold it together. It's just not the same with our special people there.....God is teaching us all lessons and just like other major life events, we all are affected in our own way. It's our quest to decipher the meaning and let grace, patience, and wisdom take over more than ever!
So, continue the prayers as we continue the journey together. Thanks to all for the love that you extend to us all! Enjoy our much anticipated spring! Namaste ~ MJ
