Sunday. I know, it was almost a week ago. Tonight is the night I catch up! For real!
Sunday we made a quick stop at the assisted living where Ben's grandma lives on our way out of town. Not only did we get to have a quick visit with great-grandma, but we also got to stop and see an old friend of Ben's.
Doc and Ellie are probably in their late 80s or early 90s, based on the fact that they were retired when Ben worked for them in high school. They recently moved into Edgewood Vista and we stopped to see them. The were the absolute cutest. Ellie took us in and treated the boys like they were her own kids or grandkids. She shared toys, candy, pictures and stories with us. And Doc was the absolute sweetest. I wanted to hug him all day. They delighted in our visit and we promised them we'd return.
It only took a few minutes' visit to brighten both their day and ours, and the visit served as a necessary reminder to me of how easy it is to make a difference to someone, and how often we fail to do it.
