What a woman of Proverbs she is.

Wild thing.

Today is our 34th wedding anniversary. I have been sitting here remembering the morning that I would wake up, in the mood. I would try to resist my urges and not wake her up, that was, for me, an impossibility. She was always willing and ready for me. What a woman of Proverbs she is. 

When we wed, we were ravenous lovers. Promised to sleep naked, never to wear pajamas, and to love each other with abandonment. We didn't need a reason to make love, we just did. We were not limited to the bedroom, we were adventurous, daring, and bold lovers. From a park bench while watching planes take off, to being under a blanket, on the beach with people walking about. 

I don't know why, and then again, I do know why I'm sharing these intermate things today. It is because of the past 34 years, I've been living with the most loving woman I have ever known and it is fitting for these memories to float about and remind me of a life well spent. 

Sunday

It was Mother's Day, and because of knowing her kids, I wasn't disappointed. The phone didn't ring, the cards never appeared in the mail box, it was as if she didn't have children. I did my level best to give her a Happy Mother's Day, as best I could. 

Sweetie is just running out of energy these days. She sleeps more and more, and when I do get her up, it is a job. Her poor body just doesn't want to move. She hurts. 

When we are getting her up, she holds on to me as I move her towards the edge of the bed, almost crying. Then sliding her feet to the floor, I wait for her to find her balance before we head to the bathroom. Cleaned, dressed, and out to the living room we go. 

I knew it would be a long day, for at breakfast, she would get up and walk back to her room, and back to the table. She should of been hungry not eating for over 12 hours. I got her to eat as much as I could, and then she went back to bed. 

This was much of her behavior all day. We never left the house, she didn't want to, and I couldn't talk her into going. 

On a good note, I got our Nanny Cams up, so watching Sweetie is so much easier. I'm not that confident that they will keep working. 

Sometimes the days of this journey seem long. There are more minutes then miles. Driver will look at me and tell me, "Don't worry, relax. We haven't arrived at our destination yet. Enjoy the day." I keep having to be reminded that while we are on the Road to Dementia Town, each day there are Easter Eggs to be found. Finding them is part of the joy in each day. As we motor down the Road to Dementia Town, Keeping our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv ya, and God Bless.
