Caring Cousins

Frank and I arrived on Tuesday, August 30 at 3 pm to be greeted by Daniel and Carol. Our instruction lesson took place shortly after our arrival; our instructor was quite good and well versed on the subject. His name is Daniel Gray, and he covered everything in short time. He hooked us up and we were ready to go. Then Daniel was off for a few days to do his own things.
Frank went to the grocery store to stock up on the things to make our party complete. After his return home we started preparing the evening meal. We had so much fun cooking and eating, laughing, chatting and just plain family time. Our time here with Carol has been great; to say she is an inspiration to us is putting it in the simplest of terms! Keeping up with Carol is no easy task! But she is keeping us on our toes. Carol is the fastest power walker of us all, and has run us ragged each evening. Spending time doing word games has been lots of fun, and believe it or not, watching TV is almost non-existent because there are so many other things to do. The puzzles are maddening, but we can’t resist trying to find those tiny stinking parts to fit into a 1000 piece puzzle where everything looks alike. I think it is Jaime who stirs it up then leaves the puzzles for us to complete. He starts them for others to suffer over. Thanks Jaime!!!!
Our time here is coming to an end and I’m saddened to say we will miss all of the fun we have been having. All of the simplest things that we all take for granted at times, are the things we have enjoyed the most while being here. The yoga classes, the trip to the hospital for the blood work report, the family meal time and preparations, games, the evening walks and most of all spending time with Carol have been great. By the way, Carol is doing extremely well, all of her numbers are up and getting to where they need to be!!
Thank you, Carol, for honoring us with the opportunity to share in your recovery. It means so much to Frank and I.

Warmly,
Sandy & Frank
