A Christmas Miracle

Well, my dad has been in the nursing home since August and has been waiting on an opening in the Veteran's Home. The nursing home was a necessity but very expensive and it only took a few short months to eat through his entire life savings. Well, Monday we received a call that there was an opening and he would be transferred to the VA Home on Wednesday. It is a Christmas miracle! We moved him in yesterday morning and went back to see him last night. He is happy with the move and impressed with the facilities. There are many young men living there and although he has the help he needs he also has more independence here too! They take lots of trips and have many activities so I'm hoping that Dad is happy here! He also qualifies for assistance and he will no longer have to worry about money. It has been a relief for all of us! I took this picture of him a few weeks ago when my sister and her kids were in town and went and had it enlarged and framed for his new room!
