She doesn't know who I am.

Love of my life. 

When we were coming home from the golf course, I asked Sweetie if she knew who I was or my name. She didn't have any idea of who I was. I am now that familiar person who takes care of her and makes her feel safe. When I tell her that I'm her husband and my name, I can tell that she is pondering that idea, that she is married, and I am her husband. Then, sometime later during the day, she will tell me about her husband. 

Met one of the groundkeepers the other day. He made a comment about us and our holding hands. He thought it was such a loving picture. That we are together, and when when we met, I mentioned his phone call and asked if it was about scripture, and it was. Then he told me that he uses us, and talks about us, as an example of a loving couple. He is so impressed with us. It isn't me, or Sweetie, it is because of the way my Driver has shown me how to act, how to love, and to be the caregiver. Just goes to show you, you never know who is watching. 

Went to watch our DIL and youngest grandson participate in a belt promotion at their Taekwondo dojo. We had not been there to watch and it was fun. The 6 year old could really move, and he knew his stuff. The DIL, was very impressive too. The grandson earned a new belt, from green to blue, and DIL moved up a mark on her belt. Next year the oldest grandson will test for junior black belt. He cannot be promoted to black belt until he is 18, and had 2 years as a junior black belt. Truly, I was impressed. 

As you can imagine, with Sweeties loss of who I am, other things are going away too. She is still able to feed herself, but is always questioning me if what she is doing right. As it is now, the less choices she has, the better. Of course, her toileting is now just a place to clean her up, and change her pullups, gone are the body's signals that she needs to go. 

Today is pizza day with the kids. It will be the last one in the old house. They have bought a new home, or should I say, new to them and next month, we'll be having it in their new home. I'm excited for them. It will be big enough to have holidays at their home, which will move that family tradition to their home.  I knew that it would happen, and I'm so happy for them. 

Time for me to get going, Driver is here and ready to move out. I'm sure He will be having some good things to share, He always does. Down the Road to Dementia Town we go, driving with our Shiny Side Up, loving life as we go. That goes for you too, love life as you drive down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping your Shiny Side Up. Love Ya, See Ya, and God Bless.
