What's the best thing that's happened to you in the last week or so?

My dad has dementia, but today he was "Dad," and we had a warm and wonderful chat. He knew me! It was a miracle of sorts, so I'm flying high! What good things have been happening to you?

I learned that my niece who lives in NYC will be spending the holidays with our family in the Midwest.  She hasn't been back for a couple years, so it will be wonderful to spend time with her.

Oh, @libbyannE, this brought tears to my eyes. How wonderful for you. I haven't gone through this yet but I have several close friends who have and it is so heartbreaking. I am giving you a big cyber hug!!!

 

My grandson stayed with me today and when he wakes up from his nap I always cuddle him and talk to him. I have been telling him what a big boy he is becoming and I don't want him to grow up, I want him to stay my baby.  He looked at me said I love you GG, I am GGs baby. Most all the wonderful things that have happened to me in the past couple of years have involved him. I love that little guy so much.

What a blessing! Isn't it great to have the pleasure of simply looking forward to family time?

Re: What's the best thing that's happened to you in the last week or so?

Today I had a doctors appointment. While waiting in the office a mother and daughter came in. The daughter was a special Ed child in her teens. I started to talk to her and her mother. The girl put a smile on her face and had many things to tell me. We talked until it was her turn to go in. On her way out she smiled and waved goodby. I felt so good the rest of the day. She was so special.
