Not long after a tiny southern lady, Gracie "T" Jones* (85+) moved in the Memory Care Center I knew she was going to be funny. Just the fact that she always insisted on using the "T" when she introduced herself made me smile.
One day I was walking down the hall when Gracie called out to me. Gracie had been reciting some off color poems she had learned from, way back when.
I stopped to see what she wanted. Gracie laughed then announced, "You know Lula Belle, if Momma heard me talking like this she wouldn't like it! So, I'm going to tell her YOU made me say them."
I chuckled then responded, "Whatever Gracie. I just want you to know I've been called a lot of things in my life, but Lula Belle was not one of them."
*Name changed except the "T".
About Me
- Kay
- I am married, a mother of three children, and grandmother of 5. Our oldest son, Todd, died in a car accident at the age of 16. Shortly after Todd's death, I gave my life to the Lord, and I asked Him to bring something positive out of Todd's death. Amazing things began happening. I wrote a letter, "In Loving Memory Of Todd," to Dr. Norman V. Peale, telling him about them. He published my letter in PLUS magazine and put it in two books. One book is "Have A Great Day- Every Day. The other is The Power Of Positive Living. Every day may not be good, but God can bring something good out of every day. Just look for it.
