I feel a bit like Jimmy Stewart in Rear Window, but I see this playing out a couple times a week from my rear apartment window. These two seniors are are doing what countless millions do daily for their loved ones. This old lady is barely able to push this guy, presumably her husband, in his wheelchair, let alone help him maneuver himself into the car. He has lost a leg. She will put that board on the seat and then next to him and he'll slide on the board to get in the car. After that she will barely be able to get the wheelchair into the trunk of the car. It is a long process and I am amazed at what we do for each other, long after what we signed up for, in our youth, has ceased to exist. It is a testament to who we are and how we seek "to" love. These old guys are nearing the end and one must feel admiration for continuing the battle to make it through each day.
It's Monday and the start of another work week. Except for me. I have the week off because the parents of my daycare charges are taking the week off, too. This is one of those wordless posts I love on Mondays so I can put my laziness in full view of loyal readers. These pics need no words. Why muddy the waters? They were taken at the pool at Sinkhole Estates aka Death Valley. The nice thing about this pool is it is heated in winter. If one must find positives in one's situation, I suppose that is one. But, please, no more.
