Nursing Home story...

Every Sunday we take grandpa out to breakfast... (my husbands Dad).  Grandma died a few years ago and he has been in the nursing home for about 11/2 years.  I know he hated it there at first, but now he has accepted it pretty much.  I went in to get him today and one of the aides said someone is here to get you...he hadn't seen me yet, and I heard him say " is it Sheila"?  When I came around the corner he got a big ole smile on his face and he said "its my daughter Sheila", touched my heart.  I'm so thankful that we can be there for him and that he can still get out with us.  When I brought him back after breakfast he said I love you honey....Hang in there Grandpa, we love you too.
