Halloween Visit

Today after getting the kids off to school I felt a strong prompting to go see my Grandma Rhea in the hospital and take my daughter and Granddaughter with me. It is Halloween and I was thinking  back over the many Halloweens that Grandma had dressed up like a ghost and Grandpa had dressed up like Charlie Chaplin and awaited our visits with homemade pumpkin sugar cookies. I loved these memories and knew Grandma would be disappointed being in a hospital for this holiday so we decided to take Halloween to her. So all three of us dressed up and away we went. I went as a scarecrow, Kaylee as the Grandma of Little Red Riding Hood, and the Ireland as Little Red Riding Hood. I know this completely brightened Grandma's day. She hugged me and told me how much she loved me and just how happy this simple little visit made her.  Grandma was so happy that she would not stop talking about it for the rest of the day How grateful I am to have the time in order to follow through on the prompting. Apart from having this disease I am really starting to see the tender mercies that I am allowed to help me make it through difficult times. I know that service is the best medicine when your not feeling well. I have learned that it is through the simplest of things that brings the best results.

We Love You Grandma!
