Art's cousin, Sarah is in a nursing home in Honolulu. We have not been able to visit her as much as we should. However, we decided that we really needed to get our act together and pay her a visit this holiday season.
Sarah has always been one of our favorite cousins. She lost her husband a few years ago and is now struggling with her health as well. Sarah is always full of smiles and caring. She reminds me a lot of Art's mom who always put everybody's needs before her own. Whenever we visited her in the past, Sarah always had to give us something to bring home.
We couldn't decide what to bring her. We looked on the Internet for ideas on what to give someone who is in a nursing home.
Some of the ideas were potted plants, writing material, lotions, stamps and stationary, fruits, a lap desk, etc. There's very little space in Sarah's room and we didn't want to add clutter to her things.
And then I had the idea to give Sarah something she could pass out for the holidays. Sarah has always enjoyed giving presents to others and making life happier for everybody else.
Art was all for it. We got some party bags, some cookies, mints, candy canes and ribbons.
We filled the bags with the goodies and personalized name tags so everybody would know it was from her.
And now we were ready to go.
We spent about an hour with Sarah at her nursing home.
Yes, she loved her present of presents and immediately gave one to a worker there.
Art and Sarah enjoyed reminiscing about their days in Honokaa.
It was a day of smiles today.
