~My LiL "Lysa Mo"~

This summer has patiently waited for the new "Gables" to open up, which is an assisted living retirement home. It is within walking distance of where we are. As soon as she saw life over at the home, she instantly was there asking if she could visit with the Seniors that were there. The gal was more then excited to have Allysa be one of the first "little" volunteers to visit with the ladies there. With her cousin Kat, Allysa has committed her self to every Tuesday and Thursday for two hours to go visit, play games, play the piano, and just relax out on the deck with the sweet ladies. I am so proud of her and the excitement she has had over this project. In fact, Allysa would not look at it as a project or an act of service....yet merely something rewarding and humbling for her to partake in. She has already developed a sweet friendship with a couple of the ladies. One day we were riding our bikes to my sister's house and she spotted her friend on the deck and asked if she could go say 'hi'. An hour later, Lys showed up at my sisters. She truly enjoys their company as they are enjoying hers. She has taken over photo albums and shared pictures with them as they have with her of their families. It is darling how she has taken an interest in something that many would just overlook. Lys is my lil dream come true. She is my lil sweet baby girl and everything I could have wanted in a daughter and more.
