I would like readers to share memories that bring a positive smile to all. Sometimes it is all negative and depressing-but can be humorous.

My father has been through hell and back the last two months- lumbar infection due to Covid19 went to the hospital too late- hospital- rehab- home with an IV infusion daily - back to ER with another infection - Monday thought he wasn't going to make it, it was so bad. he went from driving and walking up two flights in march to mostly bed bound in June and constant debilitating pain a difficult time all around. We called this morning and he screams "I"m Alive"and starts chatting up the nurse. My mother a difficult, narcisistic, complicated woman only sees the negative in everything I don't think I've ever heard her laugh with such joy - granted this may all be short lived but it was really wonderful to hear that after two months of hell for all of us. Of course tonight when I called he told me he was going to marry my mother tomorrow, we are not a touchy feely family but this was the best day in two months even though I know it may be short lived and dementia is setting in. Really difficult not to be able to visit I can only imagine how difficult it is for the patient.
