Lady-Links: Dear Friends and Sunsets…No Two Are the Same

S

Sunsets are incredibly beautiful, yet no two are ever exactly the same.  What we see in a sunset on any given evening depends on how the atmosphere refracts the sun’s rays along with the type and arrangement of clouds that reflect this light to the ground.

What that means is that each sunset is unique….the circumstances are never the same to produce an exact replica of what we’ve seen before.  That’s how our visits to our dear friends are…those ladies in our community in various stages of cognitive decline.  Their circumstances are similar, but each dear friend’s level of cognition requires a visit that is tailored to her specific situation.  The Lady-Links consider the uniqueness of each dear friend as something that makes her special…that’s what makes her an individual…that’s what makes her the person she is, able to enjoy the activities that she specifically likes.  Visits to all of our dear friends are awesome…but no two are the same.

Some dear friends enjoy music at their visits.

Some dear friends enjoy making crafts at their visits.

Some dear friends enjoy playing cards at their visits.

Some dear friends enjoy playing games at their visits.

Some dear friends enjoy creating cards at their visits.

Some dear friends enjoy looking at things (Show and Tell) at their visits.

But all enjoy the love and laughter that makes each visit an occasion of joy.

All visits are inspiring, awesome, enjoyable, and special.  Just like a sunset…unique, yet similar to others.

If you have a friend or loved one with cognitive decline, we hope that each sunset you see will remind you of the opportunities you have to bring joy in unique ways into that person’s life.
