Silhouette

What She is like now. 

Reason for picking this picture is it represents what Sweetie is like in my life. The fact you cannot see her is because the light is in back, and she comes a blocker of the light, thus a shadow or silhouette of who she is. It doesn't take away any of who she is, you just can't see it. 

Sweetie is so precious to me and I love and hate each day with her. Yesterday, when we went walking at the mall, she has to follow a certain color tile as we walk and I have to keep telling her what a good job she is doing while walking with me. Because of her following the tile, I try to make sure she can see the path ahead of her. 

I've noticed that she is slowing down as we walk, and doesn't seem to have the energy to move quickly, or step lively as we trudge the mall's path. 

Last night, I kept Sweetie up with me. When we went to bed, she was ready and wanted me in bed with her. It was nice to go to be together again. The reason that I changed our bed time was because of her sundowners, and it was easier for me to put her to bed first, and wait for her to be asleep. Then I noticed she was still awake when I got into bed, so a change was needed in our bed times. She may not say much, or what she says isn't what she means. Her actions speak loud and I am aware of her needs. 

As my Driver is aware of my needs. He sets up times for being active, and a time for rest. I cannot be very active if I'm not rested, and I cannot rest well, if I'm not active. Driver plans each venture on the Road to Dementia Town, knowing that Keeping our Shiny Side Up is most important. So, off we go. You coming? Keep it between the lines, with your Shiny Side Up, and we'll caravan Down the Road to Dementia Town, with our Shiny Sides Up. C'ya, Love ya, and God Bless.
