I stopped by visit Ralph & Data this afternoon. Their granddaughter was already with them. The picture was a sad one. She was, futilely, straining to understand what Ralph was saying and Data was sitting by with a puzzled look on her face.

I felt compassion for Kara but there was nothing I could do for her. It was one of those times when it is better just to leave things alone.

Anyway, Ralph is becoming weaker by the day and it is obvious. He speaks with a whisper and it, for the most part, is unintelligible. He is eating very little, although he did agree to swallow his meds this AM. On an empty stomach, that was probably not a good thing.

I realize that it is likely that neither of them will know who you are, but you will know who they are, so please take the time to pay them visit. A brief visit will bring a smile on their faces and that is a good thing. A gentle hug is worth more than you might imagine!

“Inasmuch as you did it unto one of the least of these, you did it unto Me.”

Grace lavished!
