Above and beyond

I have been trying to find someone to come into my parents' house to give my mother a manicure and pedicure. Sadly, a friend said she was too busy (not interested). Realized the only option was to take my mother to a salon. Very difficult for someone with little mobility, dementia and other issues. I had heard of a new salon, so this morning I called. Where was the shop located? Is it handicap accessible? Is it possible to work out a toenail cutting for someone in a wheelchair who can't raise their feet. Didn't look too promising--hard to find a specialist who would sit on the floor. I picked up my mother after work and we headed on a nail cutting and polishing adventure. Mother was so happy to peruse the hundreds of nail polish, choosing a very beautiful coral color. How she loved chatting and getting her manicure. And then, bless her, the specialist sat on the floor and carefully clipped the thick rough nails on my mother's feet. So wonderful to know that there are people who go above and beyond
