Wednesdays Words

Our store has a new blog, and today is Wednesdays Words… you can find it here www.digiscrapstation.com/blog. Come check it out, and if you follow today’s prompt, Nancy will send you a $5 coupon towards her products in the store! How fun is that!

I know the prompt is about fathers, but I want to tell you a story about three generations of men. My father-in-law was recently in the hospital for surgery. He was supposed to be out in a couple of days, but there were complications. He would have had to be restrained from pulling out tubes and drains, and to keep from getting out of bed, when he shouldn’t. Well, his sons (my husband and his brother) and our two oldest sons (aged 19 & 21) took turns and stayed with him around the clock for two weeks straight to stay in the room with him to help the nurses, and to keep him from being restrained. This was not something the hospital required or even asked them to do. They just took time away from their jobs and their lives to help make their father (grandfather)’s recovery a little more bearable.

We have always had a close family, but to see the dedication and love come from these three generations was very touching. Even the nurses were impressed and thankful! And I am happy to report that after being in the hospital for a month, he has been home for about six weeks, and is almost back to his old self again!! Have a great Wednesday!! and I will talk to you again soon!
