What a quiet day we had yesterday. Miss Jewel slept until 10:30, quite late for her. I fixed her a very light breakfast, just a slice of toast and some melon, so that we could still have lunch around noon. That was as much for her as it was for me since I had an afternoon of appointments after work.
She was quieter, less talkative while we ate, but she still noticed everything--including the several drive-by hummings.
The sweetest blessing of my days with Miss Jewel is the prayer she shares to bless our meal. She may forget what she said a moment ago. She may not be able to find her hearing aids. She many not know what day it is, but she knows to give thanks as we sit down to eat. Her prayers are simple, but sweet--like a child's, and they always end with "bless this food to the nurishment of our bodies and our bodies to thy service."
May it ever be so.
