…. but she thinks I am. Meet Lydia. She is one of our faithful guests at the Chick-fil-A of Wesley Chapel. Her friend, Brenda, brings her to eat lunch, talk, and work on jigsaw puzzles. The first time I met Lydia, she referred to me as “Mr. GQ”. I couldn’t help but laugh. I was tired, and dressed head to toe in Oobe work apparel. Dashing? Not in the least. But we had a blast that day. I’ve gotten to know her over the past few months… and always try to stop by her table to say hello. Her puzzle of choice today? Dora the Explorer. So as I sat for a few moments helping her with the puzzle, I couldn’t help but smile. You see… Lydia has Alzheimer’s… and it’s pretty advanced. She’s a special lady, and I’m so thankful God has given us the opportunity to be a bright spot in her day. As for “Mr. GQ”… I’ll own it for you, Ms. Lydia!
