We were having a good visit at SLC last week. Mom, who had been sick, was well and walking much better--steadier.As we were sitting together on the sofa mom held her hands out in front of her and said,
"Aren't they pretty?"
I'm sure she did not mean to say that - she wanted to say something else but it did not come out right.
Dad looked at me as if to say,"Is she crazy?"
Then, as the loving husband that he still is, he said "yes" and gently caressed her cheek with his hand.
She had been fussing but took his hand in hers and once again they were a happy couple.
For the first time ever when I went to leave mom took my hand in a tight grasp and said,
" Stay here-don't leave!"
It was hard for me to go.
