Paul went to get mom for her Sunday drive. He looked everywhere for Dorothy- she wasn’t in her room, she wasn’t walking the halls, or setting up front or outside- she was nowhere to be found. He asked one of the residence- who has seen him a thousand times – if she had seen her. She told him that Dorothy went on the bus on an outing with some of the other residence.
As you know all mom does to us is complain about how bad her days. How there is never, anything to do and nothing ever happens. My brother was shocked! He couldn’t believe it-. he called me right away to tell me. He was so happy that he “caught” her doing something. LOLOL We laughed and wondered how many more outings she has been on– that she doesn’t remember.
He did not get to hear her sing her song this day- but he enjoyed the silence and the relished in the knowledge that she is just fine.
Peace & Love,
