A Pony For All Ages

Late last night I printed a special picture! I framed it...wrapped it in a gift bag, and placed it in my son Jacobs backpack for him to take to school this morning. Inside the bag there's a card that reads..."Wish you could have been there to see the ponies making magic! Your sweet mom STILL finds pleasure out of life!" You see...the Senior Rest Facility we visit every month is the "home" of "Miss Barbara's" mom. (Totally by coincidence!) "Miss Barbara" is Jacob's speech pathologist at school. She's been working with him since he was a little tot and had no speech! We've been visiting this facility now for 4 months or so. Each time, "Florence" had not attended. I asked Miss Barbara to request that next time her mom be wheeled out to participate. Her response was.."I'll ask. but these days she doesn't get pleasure out of very much." Yesterday...there she was waiting with the rest of the residents in her wheelchair as we unloaded the ponies! We proved them all wrong!!! Look at the expression of her face!!! She even made up a nickname for Sugar lips..."Baby Girl"!!!!! Alzheimer's and all, I don't think they'll let her miss another pony visit from "Baby Girl" again!!!!
