Helen ,Cindy and I had a great time at one of the December Holiday Parties at William Penn Assisted Living. There was a lot of Laughter, lots of snacking and a photo with Santa. It was a Happy Day. And that smile of Helen’s will be a memory to keep. It was so sweet to me when she asked about my Grandson, Lukas. She always remembered his name. I am grateful for those moments.
