Many of you know about how I was caring for my mother in law for a long time...She is now in a senior living home..Her memory is bad but they haven't put her in memory care yet because she is still able to care for herself..Today I decided to tell her that her best friend since she was a teenager was in the same facility..But she is in the memory care..not so much because of her memory as she is no where near how my mother in law is...but because she tried to "escape" every time they let the door open..memory care is locked..I was not sure how it was going to go. My mother in law was hesitant to go see her and seemed she wasn't sure who this woman was I was telling her about..but she let me take her down to where her friend was..as soon as she saw her friend sitting there with others she knew who she was..for the moment..We spent a short while in her friends room and it was so nice..I wanted to share this day with my friends on Boomer because so many of you know of my story..I talked to my mother in law on the phone tonight to see if she remembered what she did today..and she said..I went to see that lady...and it makes me smile..So all in all it worked out well..Have a nice evening everyone..the one with the red colored shirt is my MIL..she will be 91 soon..
Lonely tree was growing among hot sands of dead desert. Prickly sands covered the Wood. The Sun mercilessly burned its bark. But the Tree kept on living in spite of all. One day a Hawk flew over the desert. The Hawk saw the Tree and sat on its branch. He looked around the desert and said: — You are a strange Tree, why do you keep on living among these dead hot sands? Who needs it? — You, — the Tree answered. — Me? — the Hawk was surprised. — I don‘t need you. — But if not me, — the Tree told, — you would have to sit on the hot sand instead of my branches. If not me, someone, seeing you sitting on the tree alone, would say that nobody needs you, too and would ask you what you live for. Sitting on my branches you, Hawk, think that I need you. The Hawk thought about it and had to agree with the Tree. If there was no Tree, the hawk would feel himself alone and useless among this vast desert
