Last week Melisa got a surprise care package from Lara (her sis) and Josh (her sister's new husband) with Aunt Beanie's help. It was crammed full of assorted chocolate goodies, reading materials and wierd things to do like potato bonsai. However, the prize of this treasure chest was the miniature water melon and cantaloupe. Really. They sent her a brand new set of "melons". Apparently the "Milk Jugs" were too heavy. Thanks guys for that. You made us laugh!
On Sunday last week, Mel's friends from book club sent her home with a plethora (yes, I said plethora) of meals, goodies, gift cards and cake! Thank you Arin, Corrine, Michelle, Summer, Tania and Theresa!! Our next-door neighbors from Hungary also sent over a load of homemade applesauce and unique peach preserves. Interesting.
During the week, we enjoyed some killer blueberry coffee cake (among other delicious things like chicken pasta) from Cheryl. On Tuesday, Ame brought macaroni and ham with a cute card from Jenny. Sunday we had Papa John's pizza, apples, gourmet cookies, flowers and other goodies from Kim.
Already this week Adrian has sent over fruit and chili, and Judy bought soy milk. Sarah sacrificed her afternoon off to feed and care for our two youngest most energetic challenges, Skyler (4) and Naomi (3). She has one of her own and was kind enough to brave the chaos and give Mel some much needed rest. On top of that, she brought lunch she'd made. Thank you so much! You have no idea what a blessing you all are. The meals have been devoured with much cheering and celebration. My family sends their love and thanksgiving because they know that the alternative would have been an eternity of PB&Js and cereal. Oh, and toaster waffles. I make a mean toaster waffle now. Mel taught me.
By the way, Melisa wants everyone to know that she works for the best company in the world. No. She's not just saying that. The people who work for Memorial Home Care live out the vision and values of an incredible organization in the care they give for each other as much as their patients. She has had a choice as a physical therapist where to work, and has always "just felt" that MHC was the right place. Everyone has been so kind, understanding, helpful and concerned. Above and beyond what we could have ever hoped for. Thank you.
I thought people would start forgetting about us a week or two after Mel's surgery, and moving on with their lives. It's been exactly the opposite. You've blessed us more than we could have imagined or even asked for. And you won't stop! We love you for that. Thank you for taking care of us, and especially caring for Mel. She needs it and she deserves it, and she's lucky to have you.
