surprises can come in many shapes and sizes. russ has been receiving many GLO cards (greetings for our loved ones) from all over the country on almost a daily basis. today he received 2 that really surprised me though. one was from one of the nurses (lynne) on the inpatient unit of hospice that really took a liking to him. i had explained to her about GLO and obviously she remembered. the other was from a grade schooler in california. one of the family members of a GLO participant is an elementary school teacher and so she had her students create cards and then she mailed them out personally without the students knowing who they were specifically going to. russ liked them both but really seemed to enjoy the one from "daniel". he sat looking at it for almost an hour!
there can be other surprises as well. after dinner tonight, he looked at me and said as clearly as i have ever heard him speak. "i have a surprise for you." unfortunately my nose guessed what it was before my eyes saw it. like i said, surprises come in all shapes and sizes. LOL.

LOL! Those are the surprises we prefer not to know about! Hang in there.
Oh that is just too funny. SURPRISE. LOL.
All the nurses always ask about the last "surprise" which seemed odd to me a long while back. I have enough experience now to know that it is better to have a "surprise" than not.
The kindness of strangers is a very nice surprise.
aww LOL!!!
