\"Dorothy<\/a><\/p>\n

Every Wednesday I spend several hours with Mom at her new home in assisted living. Here’s a peek at what’s best about Wednesdays with Dorothy.<\/p>\n

10. The staff at the assisted living facility is friendly to me and loving towards Mom.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Getting to know other residents who live there has been delightful.<\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Mom treats me to supper.<\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Mom’s favorite game is Rummikub and the primary colors on the tiles make me feel so happy.<\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Mom’s second favorite game is Uno, and when she wins she gives an evil laugh because she knows it will make me laugh, too.<\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 At least once a visit, she looks around and says “I can’t believe Genworth* is paying for this” with wonder and delight.<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Mom still has a great sense of humor. (See #6)<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 She takes great joy in looking at pictures of her great-grandchildren and showing off the cards and crafts they send.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0 When we are together on Wednesdays, I know without a doubt that I am where God wants me to be, doing what he wants me to do.<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Mom loved and cared for me in my early years and being able to reciprocate that love and care in her last years is a gift to both of us.<\/p>\n

*Genworth is her long term care insurance company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
