Taking care of the widow's needs. My friend happened to be transferred today to a new facility for her full-time care. I made it a priority to go see her in her new surroundings. It is an adjustment at best.
I went to the store and saw a few things she might enjoy and would brighten her day.
There was those gel stickers for "Happy Spring." The stickers included the words and a small chick with a few flowers and a figure of a toy animal, I think. I placed it on her mirror so she could see it each day.
I told her the stickers were so she could remember me, and she said she did not need anything to remember me, that she would anyway. I laughed. This care center is one of the ones that I had patients to visit when I was doing Hospice counseling in Orem, by University Mall a few blocks south of it.
She likes treats once in a while so I brought her some pastel colored M & Ms plain milk chocolate and some pastel colored milk chocolate covered peanuts in a can with a clear plastic lid. She enjoyed them, and appreciated the gesture.
It must be difficult for her to have to be there away from her home and family, so it is good to be able to visit her and bless her life, if only for a small portion of time. Her daughters live in New Jersey and Texas, and her son son lives in Orem.
