Time

This morning I had the privilege of spending some time with Uncle Dale. He invited me over to help him out by taking notes while the lady from hospice went over some things with him. Unfortunately, by the time I got there they were just about done going over everything. Uncle Dale was in such great spirits! He acknowledged that his moods are going up and down (of course, who could blame him), and said that he really hopes no one holds it against him. It's certainly hard to imagine how you would handle this personally, and today I got to spend time with a strong and positive man going through a very difficult situation. Uncle Dale sold his car because he realizes that he will not be able to drive, and he had me run him down to the licensing place to turn over the title. I know that was a very hard thing for him to do, considering that he just got his car back not too long ago, but he handled it so well.

In total, we spent about an hour together this morning, but it's an hour that I will totally cherish. I hope that I will be able to help him out in other ways over the coming months. Really, time and support is what he needs right now. I am so thankful to be able to give him both and will cherish the time I get to spend with him.
