But you really did live in a nursing home! Yet, with the way your family interacted together so much, it doesn't sound so elderly-centric. What lovely memories of a special life. This gives insight into the source of so much real life and emotion I always read in your writing. And I, too, love One Thousand Gifts. This post is oh so beautiful in so many ways!
