So yesterday evening I was getting phone calls from people telling me that Daughter was on the highway headed to town. This evening, I received a phone call from an elderly woman here in town. She was feeling funny, could I come over? So Daughter and I got in the car and went to visit her. Daughter is always cooperative in these situations. Always. It really is amazing.

V's family is trying to get her to move. She's in her mid 90's, and lives alone. Her daughter, who lived near her, has died. Anyway, V was concerned-- she'd taken her nitro, but didn't know what to do. So, we sat and talked. We shared stories and memories. She was wondering if maybe she shouldn't live alone anymore. I pointed out she'd handled this situation perfectly. She knew the woman who most often helps her was going to be gone this evening. She tried to call a nurse in the congregation, but didn't get an answer. So, she called me. "You said I could call you anytime."

We had a delightful visit. She decided she was going to be okay. Daughter and I came home. Daughter is so much better now that she knows she'll be back in a routine and going to the gift shop daily. I feel better able to cope with the busy days that are ahead now that she is on a more even keel. I hope it continues.
