What is Visiting and Who Does It?
I just got back from visiting my Nana of is 96 years old and grew up in Italy until she was 16 years old. Sadly although her body is strong her short term memory is going because she has dementia. When I went to go see her, I hadn't seen her for 2 years because I live far away from her. While I was there she kept on asking me what I was doing was called I was trying to explain to her that I was visiting her. She wanted to know who did these kinds of things and I said visitors. Her expressions while she is trying to ask me questions and while I am answering them is so sweet and precious. This moment in time is so very precious to me. It is a priceless and precious memory I will treasure forever. Enjoy! I was trying to explain to her that I was visiting her. She wanted to know who did these kinds of things and I said visitors. Her expressions while she is trying to ask me questions and while I am answering them is so sweet and precious. This moment in time is so very precious to me. It is a priceless and precious memory I will treasure forever. Enjoy!

Dearest Lord,
I love my Nana with all my heart. Keep her safe in your arms. Comfort her in times of need and sadness and always keep fresh in her mind this time we spent together as I too want to forever remember it. Thank you precious Jesus! In your precious name I pray! Amen~

I just had to tell you about my dad. He passed away about 4.5 years ago. He was only 75 but suffered from a form of dementia for a few months before he died. As a treat I brought him a dinner from Wendy's, his favorite fast food chain. He'd been eating hospital food for several months. He ate his burger and fries, just exclaiming about how delicious it was. When he sipped from his Sierra Mist soda his eyes lit up and he asked what it was. When I told him it was soda he sipped again and exclaimed, "Delightful!" He died 10 days later. It will always be one of my most precious memories of my dad. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Tammy,

Thank you for sharing your precious story with me. What a blessing to have that wonderful memory of your Dad. I know I will also treasure this time I had with my Nana. I am sure you miss your dad terribly. I know when my Nana goes I will miss her terribly too. But I will have all the wonderful memories, like this one, to treasure for a lifetime!

Hugs to you,
Brenda

About Me

Sharing my heart on things like Training and Teaching My Children, Homeschooling, Health God's Way, Home Made Recipes, God's Word and more, Finding God's beauty through pictures of creation. I will share what I am learning as I walk alongside my 8 children. My heart will share how we learn and grow together through all of our every day life experiences with God and together.......I am "JUST" another woman who is trying to make her way through this journey we call life. Daily, you will find me striving for and seeking out the Lord's wisdom on how he wants me to train up the children He gave to me, in the way they should go. While seeking out His guidance daily for myself and my 8 children as to which path He wants us to get on. We home school as a way of life. As a mother of many I take my job serious and to heart. I am not afraid to stand alongside my children and learn new things with them. Our world and the things of life are just so vast and there is just so much to absorb, explore and learn that we are forever learning together as we walk side by side through our daily walks in life......
