Some special guests arrived this week by way of Tasmania. Dad's brother and sister-in-law flew up for a quick trip to welcome him back to Australia. When the three of us walked into the activity center on Monday afternoon, dad did not even bother to look at me... he was looking directly at his little brother. A few changes since they last saw each other ten years ago. Dad was exhausted by the end of the visit on the first day. On the second day, he was in better form. Stories remembered and laughs shared. His eyes were sparkling and there was a smile on his face... those days have been rare in the past three years. We are very thankful for the special visit... and look forward to more.
(PS... There were more special guests the previous week... dad's sister and brother-in-law. Unfortunately I missed them, but will catch up with them the next go around.)
