Caring for my Sweetie.

Morning Glories

Just something different. Yet, they are something that reminds me of my Sweetie. Her love for the beauty that is in everything, even if your not looking for it. 

I used to walk in our backyard early in the morning and see these little guys, opening up and sharing their colors for me to see. We didn't plant them, didn't do anything special, they just showed up, and were free to enjoy. 

Each morning, when I get up early, 2-3am. I come into my office, turn on the coffee, sit down in front of my computer, put on worship music, read, meditate, pray, and write. I know that I'm preparing myself for another day of caring for my Sweetie. 

Saturday

It was another free day for me. My caregiver is coming to relieve me of my duties. I am so blessed by her coming into our lives. I know that my Driver set this all up. One of those blessed chance meetings, it didn't happen by accident. 

Saturday is one of those rare days where I left Sweetie alone with a "stranger". Even though she has been with her before, it threw her off course. Friday was not that bad of a day for her, it is today that she wasn't sure on what to do. 

When I got home, she was in bed and the report from her caregiver was she was stand offish all day. I'm hoping that she will adjust as this new schedule pans out. 

When I returned from the golf course, and after my lady left, I started putting some Hemp Oil into her. She was happy, scared, and worried, it seems that her whole world was being shaken, and it was. 

It took until late in the afternoon before she could relax and sit with me. As the evening went on, and the Hemp Oil did its magic, she unwound, started holding my arm and hand with both of her hands. That isn't something normal, I think she missed me so much, that it took a long time for her emotions to settle in so she could relax. 

This new closeness went to the bed. I told her to take her shoes off before she went to bed. When I got in, she moved to me and we entwined our feet and legs in an intimate way, such as we used to, and she was at peace.

We sometimes cuddly in the back seat, moved over to one side of the car, me against the door, and Sweetie in my arms. Here with Driver, in the car, I can pretend that we are young lovers, holding tight to each other, as the world goes by. Down the Road to Dementia Town, with Driver behind the wheel, me in the corner of the back seat, with my Sweetie in my arm, and the glow of love all about as we go, Keeping Our Shiny Side Up. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless.
