FRIGHTENED There is a rat in my pocket! I can't get it out.
HELPFUL I can load the dishwasher!
CONFUSED We need to hurry so we can get to church! I don't want to be late. (Uh, Dad, church was two days ago)
PROUD I fell down yesterday. Look . . . and he pulls up his pant leg to show me his skinned knee.
UNSURE How do I make it flush?
TENDER Will you give me a kiss?
SCARED I didn't know where my mother was. I thought she forgot to pick me up . . . when I met him at the shuttle after he spent an afternoon at Memory Day Care.
KIND Now, it's my turn to push you! ... after a block of me pushing him in his wheelchair around his neighborhood.
Even though it's a bittersweet season, I am grateful to spend moments with him.
What whispers in the moment, shouts in the memory! (Thanks, Dale, for reminding me of this at Gold last week! www.soulation.org )
