The person I most admire is my childhood friend, Pat Workman. Pat came home from her lucrative job in Las Vegas a couple years ago to take care of her Mom who is bedridden. This is a twenty-four hour a day, seven days a week job with no breaks. Family comes in to help with the lifting but the constant care is on Pat's shoulders.
I just came from a visit and always enjoy reminiscing with Maxine. We used to teach Bible School together to about 17 three and four year olds. What a time we had!! lol
Pat was doing Maxine's tube feeding while I was there. What a time consuming procedure that is; and that is more than once a day. Pat is so patient with her Mom and doesn't complain.
As much as I admire Pat; I would have never thought she would be the one taking care of her Mom. Pat's personality just didn't fit the bill. Funny, how we all change.
I am grateful to have had the Workman's as neighbors and Pat and the others as childhood friends.
Lunch, Please
