The Story of an Old Father, His Son and the Sparrow...
I have a new blogging friend who blogs at Goodnight Gram's Blog. Tonight I was at her blog reading some old posts of hers (I like to do that to better get to know my new friends) when I came across a post that referred to this You Tube Video. I can guarantee you that a tear or two might have fallen from my eyes. And Wendy, my friend from A Day in the Life on the Farm, I thought about you and your mom. Sometimes these lessons can come back to haunt us. Tonight Richard will get some extra good-night kisses......

Wow, this is powerful! Makes you want to go the extra distance when dealing with someone who is dealing with dementia or other memory issues.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing it!
betty
Yes, powerful. Almost makes me ashamed of how irritated I get when he asks questions over and over and over.
DeleteThank you Paula......
ReplyDeleteWendy, I immediately thought of you and your mother. I go through the same with Richard. Now I will just think...sparrow!!!!
DeleteOh! I am so glad you found that video link. It's a really good lesson, isn't it? GG
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a good lesson for those of us who deal with people who have dementia
DeleteTears! I wish I'd seen this when my own mother was struggling.
ReplyDeleteIt gives us such a different perspective doesn't it? Today at my house when I became frustrated I would just whisper "sparrow" and have to smile
