Then once a month I visit Libby's House (this is the place my new book is all about!). Most of the residents are older- like grandma's and grandpa's. One of my favorite residents is Lyla (not her real name). She just turned 96 years old!
She has a hard time talking, but that's ok, I just listen and pretend I know what she is saying. Most times I lick and lick her hand to show her I love her. One day as I was licking her hand she said, "Kisses." Clear as a bell! My mom couldn't believe it! That was the only clear word she has ever said, but we thought it was very special. Just as special as Lyla is.

Hi Frankie!
My Mom just became a follower, but let me make a comment - you have a great blog! You are such an inspiration to all of us. All the special folks at Libby's house are lucky to have you as a friend. That is so cool that you helped Lyla say "kisses" when you were licking her hand! I love to do my therapy work too, it's fun to cheer people up in the hospital we go to.
I'm going to get my own blog going some day, I'll let you know when it's ready!
