Married above my paygrade.

My Sweetie.

I believe that we are at Disneyland when I took this picture of her. The more I prepare myself for that day, the more precious these pictures become. I already miss her smile, her way of saying things, the mystery of her womanhood. To me she was always a mystery in so many ways, that is why I kept learning about who she is, was, and would have been. 

You know the saying, that you can't make an omelet without breaking the eggs. With Sweetie, I was always breaking eggs and then we would make the omelet together. She could outthink me at any moment, and then again, she would praise me for doing what was right. We chose to make omelets and blend in the other flavors to make it taste better. I married way beyond my paygrade. 

As it is with Dementia, Sweetie's world is shrinking, and I think she knows it. She is getting more and more complainant with sitting and watching TV. Which makes it easier for me to keep her happy. 

We tried to get out yesterday, but it was too windy and cold. So we went and did our walk about at the mall, and home. While we were walking, I was thinking, how the mind is going, and at the same time, she will walk with purpose. She is a strong walker, which means that more than likely, her mind will give out before her body will. It seems to be a race to see which one quits first. 

It doesn't matter, the end will be when we arrive at Dementia Town, the end of the Road. Driver tells me not to worry, and again and again He tells me that. Each day, just get into the car with Him and relax. Where does it say that I can add or take away anything to each day? Live, laugh and enjoy this day, for it is the day the Lord has made. So, I should just relax and enjoy this gift of the day. Take my time to open it up, and at the end of the day, see what the present is. What else is there to do as we drive the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
