Red letter day indeed.


The way I'll always remember. 

Its those times when there is a glimmer of who she used to be. I don't think that she has called me by name in the past two years, and that is again something that is in my memory box that I miss. She does tell me that she loves me, but I wonder if it because she is afraid of something and needs to say the words to make her feel good and safe? Like the man who's love overflow with kindness, I repeat them back to her. Tell her that I'll take care of her, I'll keep her safe, and she is like a small kitten curled up in those words. These are the Easter Egg moments that get moved into the memory box.

We had the most pleasant day yesterday. I have to say that it was the best day on the course ever! Lowest score ever, for those of you who know the game, I shot a 4 over game. We play the executive course, its 9 holes of challenging golf. Started with 4 pars in a row, that in itself is a personal best. It seemed that Sweetie was on her personal best behavior while we were on the course. That is another Easter Egg event. 

When we went home, she wanted to take a nap, and that it lasted for about 15 minutes, and then the scenario started repeating it self. She would want to go to bed, then back up. This went on until we took a car ride. It seemed to center her and we finished the evening well. The only problem was bed time. She gave me a rough time getting her overnight pad in her pullups, but once that was accomplished, she was in bed and asleep. All in all, a red letter day indeed. 

I know that Driver is chuckling because He knew that I need a day like yesterday. He set me up, and I took the bait and just enjoyed the time, He is truly a fisher of men. Can't wait for this day to get started. And like on queue, He's outside waiting for me to start our journey down the Road to Dementia Town with smiles to go with the miles. Order of the day is Shiny Side Up. That goes for you too. Don't know what is waiting for you and me this day as we travel the Road to Dementia Town, I do know it is better when your traveling it with me. See you soon, Love Ya 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...
