Mother's Day was very nice. Not expensive...well...not TOO expensive, not exciting, but nice.
I was able to take Ashley & the kids down to Charlotte to visit friends and their son. Ashley & the woman have been friends for 20 years.


The woman needs to have Ashley come visit periodically so that she can have a few hours to herself. The husband has MS and is all but immobile, so our friend never gets to just sit & relax.


I am telling you about this situation for 2 reasons.
First, I am happy to be here to be able to give this woman some time away from her house. This is one of the little things I get to do that make me feel valuable to someone. This is one of the things that almost stopped happening 5 months ago. I am so glad I will get to do this for a time to come.


Second, these visits remind of how much I DO have even with my situation. Our friend can barely move. Walking has not happened for years. Yet, he keeps a smile in his heart and a good attitude towards God and life. You know that old saying, "Someone always has it worse than you."? Well, I know that someone & he may have it worse, but he sees the good in life every day.


So, do I like to visit our fiends because I can do a good deed, or because I find inspiration in a strong man and a strong woman?


The answer is....Yes.


Good night & God bless.
