“ That sounds good”
In the last few years Dorothy suffered Alzheimer's, robbing her of virtually all of her memory. She still would answer to her name and recalled some prayers she would recite with Barbara before going to sleep at night. What I will always remember of those difficult days were the three questions she had for me every morning, when I would go to get her out of bed for breakfast.
1. Who am I?
2. Who are you?
3. What are you doing here?
The first two questions were always easy to answer and easily accepted by Dorothy. Your name is Dorothy and my name is Ed, I am your favorite son-in-law. I wouldn't mention that I was her only son-in-law.
It was the answer I would give to the third question that would always get me in trouble and start an argument no matter how clearly I would describe the process of getting up and what would come next, until I decided to change the answer.
My new answer to the question, What are you doing here? Was:
I was told by a friend of yours you needed help today and so I came to help you.
To that she would ask in a doubtful voice who asked you?
I said Jesus told me you needed help today so I am here to help you get up this morning and get your breakfast.
With a look of doubt but acceptance she would answer, “That sounds good”. After that I would always talk about her friend Jesus and how he was always watching over her and wanting to help her every day. To that she would answer “That sounds good”.

Grandma Buschmohle will always be remembered fondly. Her Day Lillies still bloom in our yard every spring. I'm sure this spring the flowers will be exceptional. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family as we say goodbye to a great lady.

To the most loving grandmother a grandson could ever wish for. I will always remember you walking me to school in the early years and staying on me to practice those organ lessons. You were a wonderful woman and I know you are at peace now and with gamps again, that means so much to me. Love, your grandson, Michael
