Keep It Simple - A Little Means A Lot

Before I had Parkinson’s, besides vitamins I had two pills a day to take. It was easy, never worried about what bottle I picked up. Now, I have a drug store in my home and I was spending a lot of time looking for the right med I needed at that time. My husband came up with the best idea. He took a permanent black marker and wrote on all the lids, not the drug name but what it was for. Instead of Lodosyn he wrote “Nausea” he wrote what the drug was for making my life with Parkinson’s easier, especially when I needed something quickly. When the doctors I see saw how they were marked they all thought that was the best idea they had seen. Thank you very much hubby !!!!! These past two years have been unbelievable for me and my family. While we live in Wisconsin (love those cows) I still see doctors in Dallas. I have lost count how many trips we have made but I want to thank my son for letting us live with him months at a time. He and my husband took very good care of me. They even got his beautiful girlfriend to spend a Saturday evening babysitting me so the “guys” could go out. She is so kind and gracious, she brought dinner, movies to watch and the best chocolate cupcakes. It was a wonderful evening and I will never forget her kindness. During that time my BFF (Best Friend Forever) didn’t know what she could do for me, so she asked what I would like and I said “your oatmeal raisin cookies” In less then 24 hours, those cookies were delivered to the door. Hubby opened the box and pulled out this big bag of homemade cookies. All the way from New Jersey to Dallas, in less then 24 hours this woman is amazing. It was later that I found out she baked them immediately, boxed them up and took them to UPS and said they HAD to be there tomorrow. The cost to her just to ship $80.00 !!!! Yes you read that correctly, this dear friend gave me a special gift, I will never forget. Everyone loved her cookies - I got one, it is by far the best $80 cookie I ever had. I want to say thank you to each of you for caring and loving me, making bad times fun and for loving me enough to spend $80 to ship my favorite cookie to me. You guys are the best.
