LAKE SAINT LOUIS, Missouri (AP) The barrier separating Kathy Miller from her mother was transparent enough that it was practically unnoticeable.
It was the first time in nearly a year that Miller was able to enter the Cottages of Lake Saint Louis nursing home to see her mother, Clestean Stroud, 91. Under the plexiglass shield, Miller and her son Jeremy touched their shoes to Stroud’s leopard print slippers, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
“You knew the barrier is there but you really feel like you’re there with her,” said Miller, of Dardenne Prairie, after the visit. It just brings hope.
