I really don't have the energy nor what it takes emotionally to go into what prompted my mom's bad day today. But, shortly after I was on the way to the torture chamber, uh, I mean dentist, my cousin from Albany came by the nursing home with his wife and their baby son to visit with Mama. I swear, a baby can just about solve any problem when a person is feeling down. I am so grateful for their visit! Just look at these pictures:

How incredibly sweet is he?? My dad said that every single person in the place was wanting to see or hold little Sam. The smile on my mother's face says so much!
