- that I had no trouble getting up at 4:30 to be at the nursing home at 6:00 to make sure Pa got his Parkinson’s meds on time on this, his first full day in his new residence
- for a sweet PSW who spoke French to Pa
- for the blessing that Pa’s private PSW is; she will continue to be employed for a couple of weeks while Pa transitions to his new setting; I was so happy to see her face at 8:00 when I had to leave for work
- for dawn light on untouched snow
- for the smiles of the students and the way their faces light up when they see me in the halls
- for a big hug and a kiss from a student’s four-year-old granddaughter
- for the fun I have in the T.A. room trying to teach a learning disabled student some sight words; he tries so very hard and makes slow but discernible progress
- for the pamphlet I found online that may help us advocate for Pa with the nursing home staff, who so far do not seem to fully appreciate the importance of his getting his meds on time

To be the sunshine that breaks through one’s own cloudy day is a gift, Kelly, and one that you have in spades. :)
It’s always the same with the meds, but you (the family) will win in the end.
Thank you, Tom. Your words are encouraging. K
That was so fast–the opening came up and now he is there! I am glad that he’s have you and the rest of the family and the PSW to help the transition.
I didn’t know that about Parkinson’s meds, Kelly.
I hope that it works out well for him there, it must seem even faster for him. He is blessed to have you and Sylvain to help him!
Love and peace to you, xoO
Olivia, And he has other family members, too, whom I don’t blog about very much in order to respect their privacy. Kelly
