Great day

Yesterday I spent the whole day with my granddaughter. She is 18 months old and a handful. We stayed outside most of the day she was such a good baby yesterday. I had a good day my breathing was much better than it had been. I don't know if it was because the weather was less humid or if it was just having my granddaughter with me. I just wanted to tell you all how much fun I had. Today I'm kind of paying for it. I'm a little out of breath and tired but it's worth it. If you can take time to spend with the people you love. I know it's a little off topic but I just had to share. Rosemary stay strong

  1. , it sounds like you had a fabulous day! Spending time with those you love is always such a great feeling. COPD or not, I think chasing around after grandchildren can be exhausting, so hopefully, you can get some rest today and have many more days like this one. Wishing you a peaceful day. All the best, Sam S. (COPD.net, team member).

    1. ,
      Any time you get to spend with your grandchildren is a great day indeed! My daughter and grandsons live just 5 miles away, so my wife and I see them often. We get my oldest grandson (be 5 in November) every Friday for the day. The youngest (15 months) we get sometimes Friday afternoon and early evening, and sometimes on Saturday or Sunday. It is a high light every week for sure. I don't care if I have to pay the price by fatigue or shortness of breath, it is worth every bit of it. I am not getting any younger or healthier, so I treat every moment as being precious. Any time I can put a smile on my grandsons' face and make them laugh is some of the most satisfying times in my life. Enjoy every minute of it!

      1. Your granddaughter is absolutely adorable! Those times are priceless! I'm so happy you could spend time with her. Those are the days that make memories that get us all through the tougher days.
        Thanks for sharing!
