We all met at Nat's Early Bite for breakfast. Then over to Peggy' home. The girls ran in, knowing the routine. I was hesitant. Th guys politely stepped in. We open the door and the bell goes off, the dogs bark and my mom is there in a chair. I go up to her and hug her, she responds. Everyone says "hello". We move into her room so I can show them some pictures of me and my family. I look at one and say "she was so pretty" Danny says "she still is." I'm looking through the box of photos, I hear Danny whisper to my Mom. "Thank you for taking good care of Lois"
Wow! I take these pictures, am overwhelmed with emotion, the girls bound in and we are all laughing again. It was one of the most beautiful moments of my life. Other than my kids being born. That we all had that small opportunity to appreciate life and love and show gratitude, is what being alive is.
Thank you everyone for letting me share this story with you. I know you all have your own stories, and appreciate you listening to mine.
