The day finely arrived for my wife’s visit. My surprise was a pleasant one; she brought my granddaughter to visit. She is my sons little girl they live in Springfield IL. My wife went up to get her to keep her for awhile after her mom lost a baby they were expecting. She is very sad now because she misses her mom, but she seemed happy to see me. It will be nice to have the company and someone to talk to around the house.
Dad had only seen his great granddaughter when she was a baby, and it was when his condition was starting to get worst, so I don’t know if he remembers her, it’s been six years. Dad ignored my wife just as he does me but he seemed taken by the little arrival and she took to him. It was a strange thing to watch. She just walked over to him and hugged his leg and he looked down and made eye contact with her and she took his hand and he followed. We have watched in amazement as Hope talks to him and he listens, maybe she will be good for him. I told Hope “it’s good for you talk to him, but don’t get upset if he does not talk back”. Then she said the strangest thing “he does talk back Grand paw, he talks with his eyes, can’t you hear him?”
Go to Day 1020
