“MEALS ON WHEELS”
There is a division in Salt
Lake County Services called “Meals on Wheels” that provides meals to people who
are in need of help. Donnie and I used it a couple of times in the past and it
was wonderful when you felt like you could not cope any longer.
A lot of people are aware
that there were a group of friends that started coming to our home to be with
Donnie so I could take care of my calling at the Family History Library. They
did crafts, sewing, quilting and I think just a lot if visiting. Donnie really
enjoyed it and looked forward to every Wednesday afternoon. She used to say her
old “crooked fingers” did not work very well but the company was a life saver.
After Donnie passed away the
Wednesday luncheon meals kept showing up as if it was some miracle. When I did
not feel like cooking or did not want to make the effort for –one person—I would
get a call telling me a meal was on the way to me.
When it first started
happening I thought of Meals on Wheels. Then I thought again and I started
calling these friends of my wife—MY MEALS IN HEELS. I will never understand why
I was so fortunate to have this experience but I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
I don’t think all of the same
people are in that group so I don’t want to mention them by name here for fear
of missing one-but here is picture of the original group.
