John was one of the most devoted husbands I have ever met. John and his wife Jean had been married for over 50 years. Jean was a resident at the Memory Care Center. John came in 7 days a week from 3-7 to be with her.
To be honest, I don't know that Jean really knew who John was, and she seldom spoke. John would wheel Jean around in her wheelchair and feed Jean dinner in the evening.
One day John came up to me beaming. I could see he was very excited when he told me, "Jean said, 'Thank you when I put the pillow in her wheelchair. Miracles do happen!"
It touched my heart that the simple words, "Thank you," were miracle words to John.
