As a person with a strong faith, I tell what happened today knowing what it was, but I will leave it up to you guys.
I never have worked from home in my entire life. Today, I did. I set up downstairs, and since I have no sunlight I opened the blinds on the window. It was nice, and about an hour in, I noticed an elderly woman walking up the hill. This is not all that uncommon, but I noticed she had a light jacket and wheeled walker, which again, not all that uncommon. She kept getting stuck on rocks and seemed frustrated, and something seemed off to me so I went out. I talked to her a bit, and not being a medical professional I don't know exactly what to look for. She said she was afraid and needed to go to the store. The store is about a quarter mile, along a very busy road ( I live 4 houses in from there so she was close) where cars fly. I said I would share with her what I had and she said, no I want to go...I said what do you need, she again said I just need to go to the store.....at this point I ask her to hang tight, get my wife who is an elder care nurse and she comes out and starts talking to her...text my son who is on duty patrolling and he gets there in a minute...seconds later a woman comes running up the street yelling for her....it was the lady;s daughter. She has dementia and escaped from the house without them knowing....Had I not been sitting there, this day, at that moment, she more than likely would have been injured or worse yet killed. The woman, who we know, broke down crying, hugging all of us, thanking us for caring enough to find out what was going on, and how hard it's been. It was an incredibly precious moment for all of us in this very confusing and scary time..
I knew you were a good one Lou !
