I received a link for a journal in an email the other day from someone I had never heard of. I love to read new journals. I clicked on the link, not knowing what I would find, but eager none the less. The journal was titled Francesco's Life. It is written by a very loving and devoted daughter and takes the reader along with her on her visits to her father at the nursing home he resides in. After just a few entries one begins to understand why she loves her sometimes crotchity father. You begin to love him as well. You meet the other residents. You wish you were there with her, to help her as she tries to offer them a little comfort as she passes by.
I find myself clicking on the link each day, eager to check in on Francesco. I highly recommend this journal, which is so eloquently written. But don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself. You may, however, want to start here, at the Beginning.

I received the email too and was pleasantly surprised. Unfortunately being sick has kept me away from all my favorite blogs....
Be well,

I had to go back and read from the beginning. This is quite a story of love and determination. I admire her tenacity and strenth of character....Sandi

I got an email from her, too, and have been reading the journal. I'm glad you spotlighted her. It is now a favorite journal for me, too.

I started the journal in July as something just to get my thoughts together & have just recently been visiting other journals.
