05/06/17 Delivering breakfast

I smiled at her and asked her how she was doing.  She smiled back and then teared up and said, fine until you got here! And laughed. She then went on to tell me that her husband had gone to the emergency room the night before for blood clots and several other things she was struggling with.  She talked for about 15 minutes and told me some of her worries and concerns and fears.
