Tonight Dad sang with me!!!!
I ran across this youtube video www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrZXz10FcVMand decided to try the idea of "validation therapy" with Dad. AMAZING! He has been particularly non-cognizant in recent days and so I thought I would try singing to him.
Jesus is a rock in a weary land, just a stare.
Life's Evening Sun, again, more gazing at my face.
I'll Fly Away, and I paused after a phrase and he supplied "In the Morning." I sang it again and this time, he sang more!
Next, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem, and he sang HARMONY!
I said, "Vi and her boys used to sing that one." He nodded.
Then he closed his eyes--that's the signal that he's done...so I sang Victory in Jesus by myself. His eyes opened at the end of the song, "That sounded nice." And his eyes closed again. He was done for this time, but I will try again!
I know there is music in his soul!
