It’s Monday morning and I’m sitting in front of my computer
reading my email while drinking a second cup of tea. I just read Cheryl Richardson’s blog about a
kind jester that was made in honor of her Dad that passed away a few weeks ago.
As I just lost my Mother a few weeks ago, she is often on my
mind as well. Over the weekend I had
been trying to figure out what I could get for my Mom’s wonderful caregiver
that would have meaning and show her how much I appreciated what she did for
our family. Mom loved Christmas and
loved to make cookies, cinnamon rolls, candies and treats for neighbors and
friends this time of year. That gave me
the idea of doing the same for her caregiver.
Wondering if that would be
appropriate, I remembered the late days I would be at the assisted living home
and watching as the girls put the other residents to bed and complete their
daily chores. They would then go into
the living area to relax for a while with snacks and visit among
themselves. Knowing they didn’t have
time to make special holiday treats for themselves, I hope this small jester
will bring her joy and remind her of Mom.
I’d like to pass this thought on to you. If you feel like doing something special for
someone in honor of a parent or loved one, I know it would mean a lot to them.
Now I have to get busy and start baking.
