FACTS

There comes a time when facts have to be faced.
Dad's pancreas is not working.
He has to take his digestion meals before meals.
He neglected to do so yesterday
the result a bad night and morning.
He feels weak and his mind slows down too.

So I have been making sure he does it right today.

We did go out in the afternoon.
I went and stood outside in the line up at the bank,
Dad went to London Drugs and the dollar store.
We were very happy to be back home.
Spenser sits by the bedroom window on a chair and watches us go.
He is there when we come home.

I believe that there is a solution to must of our problems
but not always easy to discover it/
People can change.
It is good to listen when people give you advice.
You can then choose to follow it or not.
Give advice only when some one offers it.
Accept help when you need it.
Be thankful.
Be generous.
Learn something new each day.
Use the gifts you have been given to help others.

It is good to slow down and find happiness in the small things.

"To love and be loved is the most empowering and exhilarating of all human emotions."
Jane Goodall

Dont you mean give advice only when someone asks for it?

I will do my best to bite my tongue, but you know that does not come easy for me when I hear that dad is not taking medicine that will make him and you have a better quality of life.
