started my day with a Duo call from the kids in Ottawa… they have been without power since the wild storm on Saturday…

they were at the Canadian Science and Technology Museum testing wifi as she had a video meeting… the Museum is just a short walk from their house, has plugs all around the outside of the building (technology), and the wifi gave an excellent video call, so that was very handy… I was the test for the meeting, lol…

while they waited for the phones to charge she was teaching him how to play Rummy… it was the card game we played for hours as we sat in the hospital with my mom as she was dying… we laughed about him needing to know how to play when they sit at my deathbed… way in the future…

we talk most days, but don’t often video call… it is always lovely to see their beautiful faces… and it was fun to show them the garden…

wonderful way to begin the day…

elders…

elders, hours in hospitals, playing cards, Rummy, tough times

a few folks I know are going through tough times with their elders… I’ve been thinking of them a lot… I remember how hard those times were… hours in hospitals where conversation seems to run out…

this morning at an event we had, we used playing cards…

brought to mind the hours and hours that our family played cards while sitting with my mother in hospital as she was in her final months of life….

the girls remember too I think… we would play rummy for hours at a time… there isn’t a whole lot you can do in the hospital and it helped pass the time… also gave us some fun – including mom as we took turns winning and losing…

over the years we’ve played cards in many a hospital room as well as in living rooms of our loved ones…

not sure if my little boys even know how to play cards… will have to work on that with them…
