Good deeds

One of the silver linings of dancing on Zoom is that I'm dancing with people who live further away, including the group of fabulous dancers from Corvallis. Some of those folks have danced together for 50 years! My friend Jim who died in 2014 lived there before he moved to Portland, so when I mention him, they share their love and care and respect for him too. Makes me miss him all over again!

He moved to Portland with his wife Leona because she had Alzheimer's and they could get better support here. She danced with us for a while, but then she couldn't anymore. I made her a CD of all the oldies that I grew up with, that she had also danced to when she was younger. Jim said she loved that CD and responded to it when she no longer responded to much. I'm glad I could give them that.

What's a good deed you did that made a big difference for someone, even if it wasn't that big a deal for you?
