Dad Has Not Been Cheated...
--By Rita Wysong
Bob has never complained. When he was ill, he suffered in silence. He had 3 serious illnesses years after he had retired from the State Dept. When he had pancreatitis, we almost lost him. Also at one point he had a ruptured appendix. When he developed prostate cancer, he would drive to the doctor's office every day for treatments for 6 months and finally
was well. But diabetes was another illness - very insidious. For years, he has been on insulin and had his blood sugar readings done during the day. At present, he is at Wilson Health Care Center and has been a patient there for a year. At this point in his illness, we pray for his comfort, and when he recognizes us, we are overjoyed. As Mary says, "Dad was not cheated - he has had a long and happy life." He has lived decades longer than most of our friends and relatives. His big joy in life is seeing our little great granddaughter, Dahlia. He is constantly told how much we all love him and probably has more affection showered on him than anyone at Wilson Health Care.
