Poppy was in rare form yesterday as the girls and I went to visit. His movements were quicker, even his eyes moved from one person to another much faster!
He helped Carly sit on his lap in the wheelchair.
He commented to Emily about her audition for the musical, that he too was in "Pirates of the Penzance." He said maybe he would come see her in it!
He even directed me where to scratch his back--"up, up, straight down."
He made sure that even though it was afternoon that we had eaten breakfast, and when Carly asked him if he was thirsty, he replied, "No, Poppy's not. Are you? You may get some water for yourself, if you want."
He made a sarcastic joke at Mom like old times, "Go ahead, tell us all about it."
As Mom and I discussed a family member with health problems (a potential cancer diagnosis), he joined in the conversation with a statement with struck me--"we have a lot to be thankful for." What a powerful reminder from this unlikely source.
