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......

  1. 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.

    thanks for sharing it!

    1. Yes, powerful. Almost makes me ashamed of how irritated I get when he asks questions over and over and over.

    1. It 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
