CAREGIVER NOTE:

the smiles, banter and jokes are worth every minute and often come when you least expect it but need it most. Yesterday was a good – no make that a VERY GOOD sort of day in that respect. He was “off” in other ways, and repeated the same thing (checking the dog’s toys) multiple times because his eyes weren’t cooperating very well yesterday. He was happy to spend some time catching up with a couple of his sons via the phone last evening and will spend a few hours over the weekend visiting with another in person. He’s looking forward to that.
