Update on Mamaw and Papaw

January 057

They were doing really good when we made our last Tuesday visit. They had just finished their dinner and their visiting nurse was taking care of vitamins, blood pressure, feet care and checking out Papaw’s latest “owie,” (he couldn’t remember how he did it but he had a jammed finger). They chatted with Autumn and Bizzie during all of it and watched Liberty explore and snuggle with Papaw.  Once the nurse left (she was very kind and patient) we talked about everything and nothing. Mamaw wanted to hear about the latest things the girls were doing and Papaw was content just to listen. I told him I had found a cassette with the song “Richest Man in the World” and for the first time that night understanding really lit up his face and he began singing the song word-for-word. It was so sweet to hear. The girls love being with them and are looking forward to our visit tomorrow, we’ll fill you in more later.

Rachel, are those your grandparents or Don's grandparents? I love how you knew that song to sing with your Papaw.
