Mom on Memorial Day

On her kitchen table lies a signup sheet from the ward. Three slots a day for people who will take her for a walk, one a day for dinner.

Next to it is her dictionary and the day's crossword puzzle from the DesNews. She's got it completely filled in except for a long word with almost all the letters already there: "bodi_ _ rippe_" The clue says something about romance novels. Bodiceripper, I say. Never heard of that, says the world's most prolific reader.

What would you like me to write about you in the blog? I ask.

Write that I'm getting stronger and feeling good, she answers. And that I like getting phone calls and visits.
