Comments about my cooking and a prayer

Tonight I grilled hamburgers outside. While he was eating, my dad said, "mmmmm...good!" Finally! He liked something. Not that he ever complains. He never does. But a spontaneous positive comment, yippee!!!

I made beef stroganoff the other night and I asked him, "how's the beef stroganoff?" He said, "it tastes like food." And another day, I asked, "do you like it?" He said, "it's better than a thumb in my eye." I think I'll wait for those spontaneous comments from now on.

And another thing - when I came home from work today, I asked my dad, "well, how was your day today?" He said, "Every day is a good day!" oh man! Wouldn't it be great if we all thought that every day? That every day can be a good day - I guess it all depends how we look at things. So nice to hear that when my dad said it. He has such a good disposition! I love it!


I don't know where I got this, but I found it, or someone gave it to me, or ????

Prayer for those Living with Alzheimer's

O God of love,
hear our prayer
for all who suffer from Alzheimer's.
In the days of changing memory,
be with them in their fears.
In the days when memory has gone,
bless their families who suffer.
Surround them with tender love
from family, friend, and stranger.
Grant them peace in their hearts,
a secure home environment,
and dignity in their lives.
May each day bring a blessing,
hope and greater love. Amen.
