Be mindful of real treasures

It's been an up and down day.

Up, because I am at Mom's for a few days seeing to her needs while Sis and her Hubbie go on a trip out of town. They very much deserve these days away. Mom isn't real hard to take care of, but she does need someone with her at all times. She is, after all, 90 years old and we are so blessed to still have her with us.

Down, because of the friend's mom who passed away. Also a treasure for him, and now he is extremely down over her passing. I am out of town, so I can't be there in person to offer what little comfort I can. We had a long text conversation this evening, though, and he knows I'm thinking of him during this very sad time. I'm sure we'll talk more when I return home.

Even in his sorrow, he reminded me that Mom is precious and not to forego visiting her and telling her I love her.
