THE GRILL MASTER

Since moving to this nursing home I realize how fortunate I am. I have a supportive family. They know how difficult living here can be My brother, Bob is my advocate. He does whatever he can to make sure my needs are met.

He does whatever he can to make me happy. All I have to do is tell him I need or want something and he will do his best to get it for me. From Jilly's Cupcakes to yogurt-covered raisins. if I want something Bob gets it for me.

Bob made my birthday special, taking my tablemate's orders and bringing us Chinese food, and sake on my sixtieth birthday. He makes sure that I have wine in my refrigerator to share too.

Bob's interests include sports, birds, and animals Hee loves to barbecue. When the weather is nice you'll find him outside barbecuing. Chicken brats, pork steaks, hot dogs. you name it. Bob can grill it.

One of the residents at my table kept saying they wanted a steak. When Bob heard about his request he offered to grill a steak for him on the grill that's on the facility's patio. The four of us will be treated to steaks and salmon burgers grilled by my brother. All of us are looking forward to it.

I realized again how lucky I am. I saw how happy everyone was when he brought us Chinese. Everyone does not have such a supportive and generous brother as I do. My brother wants me to be comfortable and happy. He wants to make other residents happy too.

I am proud of Bob for offering to barbecue for us. He doesn't like to make a big deal of all the good things he has done for people. But this is special to me. I wanted you all to know what an amazing brother I have. He has never let me down.

Next Sunday the steaks and salmon burgers will be delicious. How do I know?

My brother is The Grill Master.
