I would like to thank the staff at Bridgeport Medical Lodge for letting my Dad, Rufus Martin, have a small garden outside his window! My dad is 80 and aspirates each time he eats or drinks. We understand he is dying due to this condition, but we want him to be happy and enjoy what time we have! The staff has graciously let him have a little pleasure going outside and watering these plants! Not everyone understands that for 80 years he has tended a garden and taken care of anyone who needed help if he could. This gives him back a little bit of that feeling. Dad wants about 20 more plants, but I told him these 6 were plenty for now! Again, thanks to all the staff who help and care for him at the nursing home at Bridgeport Medical Lodge!! Also, I love that he is wearing his shirt for Boonsville Balsora Fire Department. He was one of the founders and for many years the fire chief!! We love you dad!!
