It bothered Mom to see the lines on his calves left by the ribbing in his sox when Dad took them off and the marks stayed for a long time. When I came to the sox I noticed she had taken scissors and made a small snip at the top of each sock between every rib to make them less tight on his legs. She never made mention of this but it is an example of what Moms (and wives ) do every day that is never really noticed. Well, I noticed and it meant something to me.
Mom will never read this. She is currently in Saint Annes in Rockford after a fall and dizziness. She was transferred there from Swedish American Hospital. She is in the prayers of our family and I hope some of you join in.
As she is now in the December of her life, thanks Mom........... for everything.
