Thankful

I know it’s been awhile since I have written, just didn’t feel like it. But this week I do! Why? Because I just want to express how thankful I am that God has given me the grace and ability to take care of His daughter, my mother. Last week I learned that Hillsborough County was offering mobile COVID vaccines. I contacted the Emergency Management Center on Monday , and sure enough they were. Tuesday I received a phone call with an appointment for Thursday. Momma received her first COVID dosage on Thursday. I immediately gave her Tylenol for three days to help with any soreness or pain. She is doing great!!! She received the Mederna vaccine so her second dose is in a month.

Deborah and I received the Pfizer which is the three week for the second dose. We both are fulled immunized and Momma will be soon. Today as I was feeding her breakfast ( Oh, she’s back to EATING her puréed meals…no shakes ) She looked so cute. I had done her hair yesterday in two braids and her skin was glowing. I told her “You are so pretty!” And she blushed!! Then I said “you know that I love you?” And she nodded! Thankful!!!
