Our Anniversary

Today is our Twenty-second Wedding Anniversary. I had the girls deliver to the nursing home 22 pink roses that we arranged ourselves. She was thrilled to get flowers.

I then went and had lunch with Sheila. Sheila loves when I come to the nursing home to have lunch with her on “Fish” Fridays. We get to have fish without the girls’ commentary about how gross fish is. So it has become “our” time together. Then for dinner, the girls fixed a fantastic meal, which we took it to share with Sheila. For just a few minutes it was almost like we were all back at home having dinner together.

We found out today that Sheila has a urinary tract infection and that they were starting her on a course of antibiotics. We’re hoping that is the source of the pain that she cries about. Unfortunately she is not able to fully express to us where it hurts.

I am so thankful that I have been able to spend 22 years with the love of my life and pray we still have a few more together.
