Everyday is a Good Day
By a storyteller at the Alzheimer's unit of St. Ann's Intergenerational Care Center in Milwaukee
Here. Everyday is a good day. I have a daughter. I'm a grandma too. I had her young. 16 years old. I love her with all my life. I was a cruiser on Highway 100 when it was legal. That tells you how long ago it was.
Everyday is a good day. Kayla is 16. Blond hair and blue eyes. A looker.
I think about Cookie everyday. The photograph is so good. She had energy. We were writing a story. Cookie was good. I was writing Cookie. I miss Cookie very much. It happens. Everyday I think about her. She liked Bob Hope movies. I would tell her I love her.
A song about Cookie: Cookie, Cookie. She's the one from Brady Street. Not everybody is from Brady Street but Cookie is!
She grew up on Brady Street and she had inner at Giovanni's. She had spaghetti. Then she put on her Giovani jeans and then she went home to Brady Street. She went dancing with her two kids. She stayed up all night. She could see the moonlight.
My favorite street is West Allis. State Fair on 84th. We go to the fair. Eat cream puffs. Take a walk. Listen to music.
Everyday is a good day. That's what I say to everyone. I don't even know where Brady Street is.
Cookie has a cousin. Brady street is on the East side. Cookie told us.
