If Wayne is quite a distance from the door when I arrive, a huge smile lights up his face and he claps his hands as he walks toward me. I wish I could have a video of this.

    Is there that capacity on your cell phone?
    It would be a treasure and a comfort to you when smiles are needed in days to come.

    Hope that somehow, his appetite, and interest in eating will pick up again. It must be a huge worry for you.

    Hang in there Jean, we’re all behind you in this journey of yours, and wishing you vigor and respite, both, when you need them.

    Hugs, Susan

    That is indeed a sweet memory to hold.

    Or even a camera – it would be something to look at and bring smiles back to you! Sandie

    YES! Do take a photo of it if your phone doesn’t take video, or borrow someone’s video camera for the day. It would be great for you to have that memory to view at will.

    That is so sweet and a memory you’ll always remember. You need a video of his excitement.

    I’m echoing everyone’s sentiments….. but wonder, too, if video-taping each resident’s “happy moments” isn’t something they (nurses/staff) might do for families — as a goodwill gesture.
    I hope Wayne has regained some of his appetite?

    Aww, Jean – you’ll have that picture of him in your memory forever. And in your heart.
    Hugs

    Jean, I’d love to see that, too! Your little post put a knot in my throat.
