The little things

  I am glad today is over.
It was a scary day today . (Yes, Ron you scared us today) It was a difficult emotional day.
    I see my sister taking care of Ron, I see Ron sleeping peacefully, I see his Mother wishing it different, I see his Father so stoic and calm.......I see my husband trying to figure it all out, I hear my Mother and her comforting words to Patty, I hears my friends concerns, I try to make sense of it all  
   .......I try to imagine, that somehow if I knew exactly what Patty  is feeling that it would make her feel better, that Ron would be better, that Florrie and Denis would feel better...It boggles my brain....
   So I do what I can, its become a habit for me now.... I bring Patty her Starbucks venti something....
Give Florrie a hug, squeeze Ron's hand tell him a little story, talk to Denis , ....listen to Patty, hug her, hand her Kleenex...., you see these are all tiny little things, but I think that somehow these little things are really the BIG things......
Here is hoping for one more good day.......full of lots of those "little things"....

The "little things" are the what matters most in life...its the small details,gestures, a look,a touch, or just an ear to listen that make the difference in our lives.
I am sure that you make a difference everyday, hang in there and we will all keep praying for another "good day full of lots of little things" ;)
