    It is beautiful. Sends me down memory lane to the time that Ranjan used to ask a thousand questions every day.

    We would understand if you had said that your ‘tears’ made it go burry. Mine went burry because of the tears.
    Thank you Darlene and Grannymar.

    Eternally Distracted - Welcome on board. I thought the message was well worth sharing.

    Ramana - I remember those days with Elly… she had a taste of the return bout after my surgery! :lol:

    Gaelikaa & Magpie - Please see the update I added with a link.

    Maynard - it gave me a lump in my throat when I saw it the first time.

    It went all blurry after I watched it. I didn’t want to say more.

    I can see I’m the odd one out here, but if I asked Jenny the same question four times she’d just clock me one. And vice versa. But showing affection is good, some of us are too reticent about it, especially the guys.

    Patty - An important message simply told!

    Judy - Yes, we never seem to mind answering repeatedly the questions of a child, but…..!

    Nick - I am sure if dementia was setting in you would be more gentle with each other.

    Kimme - Maybe I should stop making people cry!

    Well …. I didn’t think I’d have reason to cry today, but then I watched this link. Thank you for posting it and giving a gentle reminder for patience and tolerance.

    BTW - wishing you a very Happy New Year!!

    Maureen, we all need those little reminders now and again. Thank you for the good wishes and may your year ahead be all you wish for.

    stwidgie,

    Loved and needed to see this. Am currently in a caregiving role, babysitting my youngest grandson, what a joy! 20 months and learning to put words together into short sentences and with him my patience is unending. Also, my 85 y/o Mother, who unfortunately for her and me, I have not had an abundance of patience with. This video could not be more timely. Thanks for sharing!

    Margaret, we all need these gentle reminders from time to time. I hope it helps.
