As a grannie client & I got onto the elevator at her "senior
lifestyle community," an artist friend of John's & two women were
already going down.
Gave him a big smile as I entered the elevator & said, "Hi! I'm John Murphy's wife."
He smiled back & said, "You came to my house, didn't
you?"
"Sure did," I answered. "John's working on a painting for the
Phillips' Mill art show - a cat!"
"Tell John, I want to see
it!" he responded enthusiastically.
Gee, I thought, exiting the elevator, he wasn't as affected by dementia as I'd heard. We got out, he
& the others remained.
As the doors closed, his wife said, all excited, to the
other woman, "Did you HEAR that?!! Did you HEAR him!!"
Oh, my!
It was
probably the art that made a difference, like to think it was my smile,
too.
