Precious memories

A blessing of magnitude was showered upon Hubby and me today.
Some wonderful and precious people gifted us with a scanner.

Hubby enjoys watching our digital photo frame and I had made mention that I would like to get a scanner so I could scan old photos and put them on the frame for Hubby to see. This gifter wanted to share the blessings they themselves had been showered with.

I have a difficult time accepting gifts from others. My first instinct was to object and refuse then insist no. Then I thought about how I would feel if I wanted to gift to someone.

Hubby and I were blessed to be on the receiving end of this great gift from these special people who could relate to our circumstances. They had been blessed so many times that they wanted to share in that.
They  reached out to us and said, I am here, you are not alone, I understand.
They reminded me that God loves me.

It is always good to be reminded about these things as many times care giving feels so isolating.

I struggle to find the words that could express my feelings other than "I love you", which still feels inadequate, I am at a loss.

I am so excited to get this scanner going. It has the potential to restore or even jog a few memories, precious memories that Lewy has stolen from or clouded in the mind of Hubby.
Some I know will be gone forever but I am sure some will be validated as reality and not dreams or just thoughts. So tonight I will go through all of my old photos so I can scan and save them to the digital picture frame Hubby enjoys watching. I can't wait until he sits down with me and we get a chance to talk about them.

We are truly blessed.
