As I've said many, many times, we brought our children up to be very family oriented and to understand the value of family. I get to watch proudly as my children display this often and one of the most interesting incidents happened just the other day.
My sister-in-law, Joyce, is dealing with early Alzheimers and her life is going through many changes. Joyce is well known in the family for her cooking skills and how you know you'll be well fed with home cooking when you go to her house. At least, that's how it used to be before her memory started to fade. Now Larry does most of the cooking and so do their guests. Joyce doesn't mind and that's the important thing.
Joyce and Larry are coming to Linda's for Christmas this year and Cindy decided she'd make a lasagna for them to take home with them. We laughed so hard to think that sending food home with Larry is a nice gift now! But it is a wonderful idea and a testament to how, when life and health do cause us major changes, we have good family who will make considerations like this. I'm so proud of my Cindy for being so thoughtful...but I'm not surprised.
Our family is blessed!
