Dementia's never ending story.

Who's that? My love, who else.

Yesterday was a day of joy. I don't know why, it was like many of the days we've had in the past, yet for some reason, it was just "nice". 

I didn't have to look hard to find the Easter Eggs that were out there. Things like, deciding to get Sweetie up, and as I headed up the stairs, guess who was coming down? Breakfast outside, watching the sun go up, and the birds flittering around the feeders. Then back inside for our morning hygiene routine, where Sweetie was very cooperative. I shave her chin every morning and if I don't her whiskers get just that much longer that she will complain when I shave her. Take vitamins, cranberry extract, and watch her take them. I have a feeling that there may arrive a time when she won't be able to swallow her pills. So, I keep a close eye on her as she takes them. 

One of the biggest sweet time we had was after our walk. We went out and sat on the couch with a glass of ice water, and Sweetie began her never ending story about the boys, God, and her leading the boys to God. We sat together as she talked and talked, like I said the never ending story, for about 45 minutes. I held her hand, and she spoke softly to me, as I catnapped, and her invisible audience about her adventure. I only broke in to show her a humming bird had stopped at a feeder. I was so nice. Special Easter Egg. 

Driver knows what I'm talking about. I feel that He arranges days like this for my heart health. My Driver isn't just a driver, He is also my emotional Heart physician. He knows that I can't give away what I don't have. So, He makes sure that my love for Sweetie is being renewed on a daily basses. For if it wasn't, it would run dry and I couldn't find those Love Easter Eggs, which are the currency for refilling my Love tank. Speaking of my Driver, He's at the door, peeking in and seeing if I'm ready. "Yes Sir, I'm ready". Off we go, me, I'm wearing one of my Hawaii shirts, which only accent my cool sunglasses as we motor down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. Wacha you wearing today? Something that shouts "I'm happy"? Something that lifts your spirits as you travel with me down the Road to Dementia Town, as you keep your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, Take care and God Bless.

A fitting farewell.

When we were young. I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this...
