A fitting farewell.

When we were young.

I've been rummaging around and found this picture of Sweetie and me. We had been married for about a year when this was taken. 

I had won a company performance prize, with which included a trip to Las Vegas. This was in a casino, and the photographer ask if we would like a picture. Being close to our anniversary we said yes. 

Over the years, I had forgotten how beautiful she was. As we grew old together, and as time went bye, we change. I have many pictures of my Sweetie, but this one, this one, tells me how much I loved her and how much she loved me. It was there for the whole world to see. 

I was so blessed by this beautiful woman, and I didn't even know it. There is a saying about men who marry beautiful ladies, "They married above their pay grade." And boy did I do that.

Thank you to all that have been with me as we traveled together on the Road to Dementia Town and back. It was the out pouring of love from you who were there with me in your own car. 

We found joys, laughter, and sadness together. You put up with our down times, celebrated with our good times. When on the road together, to the beach, and of course, the golf course. You have been my constant companions on this sometimes difficult journey, and I was blessed by your participation.

With Sweetie now in her new home, and I'm on the Road to a New Life, the purpose of this blog has been fulfilled, it is time for me and Driver to say farewell. C'ya, Luv Ya, and God Bless. Arthur.

I didn't always leave comments to your posts .. but I have gotten used to looking for your posts. I've finished my long hard journey with my mom (20 plus yrs) I've started on a new journey with my hubby (he is in year 8 now & it seems to be another slow journey).
Good bye my friend. (But I'll still be watching for updates.....

I have followed your blog, and felt your joys, and frustrations. I learned much from you as I traveled my road with Dad. Thank you for opening up to all of us that were traveling down this same road. God bless you on your new journey.
