I asked Dad what were some of the
special things he did for Mom while she was sick. These are the things he told me:
She enjoyed going in her wheelchair to
the Coast Guard Station at the beach and sitting on the end of the wooden
ramp. She enjoyed watching the tide come
in and out.
Mom enjoyed eating breakfast in a
restaurant at the pier. She would sneak
biscuits out of the restaurant to feed the seagulls while in her wheelchair.
Mom liked to go to the grocery store
because she liked to see her friends there.
It was a social gathering.
She enjoyed sitting on the back patio
while watching the bird feeder and listening to the chimes.
They drove near the base of one of the
bridges and sat in the car out at the pilot boat dock so she could look
out. It is beautiful there. Pelicans and seagulls sit on top of the old
wooden pylons, and the sun sets behind the pylons.
On one of the last trips to the Mayo
Clinic, instead of taking I-95 back home, they took A1A up the Coastal
Highway. They also rode on the car
ferry. They went to Fernandina and ate at Spanky’s Restaurant on the water on the marsh
side. They sat on the deck for a long
time.
She loved watching the squirrels eat
the sunflower seeds he placed on the window seal by her bed.
