Our weekly (almost) visits to/with Bob and Nancy Spinney have certainly been an eye-opener to us regarding the fragility of life. Bob and Nancy and family are friends from "way back" and they have attended the weddings of Patricia, Marie and Tim. They had just gone to Florida last October when Bob became disoriented and diagnosed with brain tumor. Nancy is afflicted with a form of Parkinson's disease. When Bob was in Rehab, we took Nancy to visit him and now he is in a nursing home and Nancy is in the Assisted Living place attached to the nursing home. We go around the time Nancy visits him. Bob always brightens up when we come. We always bring him cookies, brownies etc as he has a sweet tooth and he does appreciate them. Nancy always reminds him "he has to share!"
When we walk out after the visit, we talk about how fortunate we are to have our health and each other and are able to do this "work of mercy" to others. Nana and Buppa
