The February issue of Better Homes & Gardens arrived today with valentines on the cover. We had my parents’ mail forwarded here a little more than a year ago and I know her subscription was never renewed but it just keeps on coming. My mom has lost interest in magazines and most everything else including food. She still likes her milkshakes though. I had the staff make one for her today and they said she had already had two. They’re small but today was special. We talked in her room for an hour or so and then she asked me to pull the curtains closed so she could take a nap. Father Donnelly was up to see her. He says he anointed her but she doesn’t remember it. I love my mom.
