All I can say is WOW!

You know, when his mom had her first of three strokes, he was unable to get back to Ohio, so I went instead. Took care of her for two months. Cooked, cleaned, laundry, helped with her physical therapy, drove to doctors appointments and doled out medication. She did really well and made a really quick recovery. When it was time for me to leave, she handed me a check and thanked me with these comforting words: “You’re a good person, but you really need to go to church and rethink your life.” I simply said, ok I will…..just take care of yourself. And with that I left, pretty much speechless. We donated the money, $500.00, to planned parenthood lol.
