A creative way to visit her dad

by Amy Haggerty

Stockbridge High School teacher Cheryl Walsh found a creative way to visit her dad, Roy Klay, a resident at Vista Springs Astounding Joy in Howell, Mich. Since assisted-living facilities statewide are closed to outside visitors, Walsh had to find a novel way to cheer up her dad. She called the staff and asked them to have her dad look out his second-story window. What a surprise he had seeing his daughter holding up a sign to let him know she was thinking of him. Klay’s smile says it all; it was a welcome surprise during this quarantine period and one that certainly brightened a dad’s day. What a way to say “I love you!”
