Friday 6am

seems like so much going on...

read Lucy's blogs...

reminded me of the old story, called GRANDFATHERS ROCK... it is about a family who could no longer care for the grandfather... so the father carried him on his back and walked with the little grandson and granddaughter along the path to the old folks home...

everyone hated the idea of putting the grandfather into the nursing home... but there seemed to be no alternative... well, it was a hot and long walk in the sun... up and down hills with no shade... finally on the last hill, there was a big rock under a shade tree... the father said, "Let's stop here for just a little bit and then we can make it the rest of the way."

as they were all getting up to finish the journey, the little girl said to her brother, "This is a nice cool place to rest. We'll have to remember this spot when we take Daddy to the old folks home!"

without saying a word, the father carrying the grandfather, abruptly turned around and started back in the direction they came from...
