Most of you know that a hospital bed was brought in about 2 weeks ago. We decided to place her bed in the living room so she could still look out of the window. We wanted to show you that Mom has a beautiful view of the valley, the view that she's enjoyed for the past 35 years.
She spends most of her days sleeping, or I should say resting. Because she is not eating, her body is growing weaker and weaker. She still manages a smile though.
Yesterday, we were at the grocery store and (brother) John called our cell phone and left a message for us to pick up some cookies. (Husband) John listened to the messages and found some large chocolate chip cookies and placed them in the cart and said, "Your brother called and wants some big cookies." It didn't make sense because that's not something he would typically eat, but I thought maybe he wanted the cookies to see if mom would eat them. After we got home, (brother) John saw the chocolate chip cookies on the table and asked, "did you get any fig cookies?" I cracked up. I told (husband) John, "He said fig cookies not big cookies." Mom had a smile on her face. It was worth it!
