I hope everyone has an Irene in his or her life. Irene is a woman who I serve as a Power of Attorney. She is isolated with very little family. I spent time with her last night, balancing her checkbook and going through her mail.

I went because she called me yesterday and told me she needed my help. Our little ritual is interesting. She calls my cell phone and I ignore the call. I then pick up my land line and return her call. Yesterday when I called it rang several times before she picked up and she answered, "Hey nut." I realized we are each like Pavlov's dog. She calls, I respond. I call, she responds. Always in the same manner.

Irene calls me, "Nut," because of my sense of humor. I like to kid with her and she will often say, "You are a nut."

Irene will be 79 years old this year and has some mental limitations. But I realized last night that I receive far more than I give her. I am blessed to have Irene in my life. I hope you have an Irene in your life.

Cal....I use to have an Irene....her name was Ms. Moon. I had known her for years, and use to help her will all kinds of things. She was even in the hosptital once (I forget how I found out, I think through her daughter that lived in Nashville) and I went and picked her up and brought her home.....

She  finally got to where she could not live alone, and her daughter moved her to a home in the Nashville area....and I lost touch with her.

She was the sweetest lady, and I could not pick up her paper from the front sidewalk without her giving me money. If I refused, then she got mad and just told me not to come back.....

Gosh how I miss her!

Thom,

Neat story. It is fun to have people in our lives for a season, for a lengthy period of time or for a lifetime. I hope you find another Mrs Moon.
