Gentle Reminders

It's been an emotionally tough day today for a vast many reasons.

Hubby for the last couple of weeks has been on a downhill slide.
Mobility coming and going at the drop of a hat.
Lots of extra wheelchair rides
and 
LOTS of extra confusion.

But we are gettin through.

My post wont be long, I know, faint, right?

Tonight as I was attending to Hubby he looked up at me and asked me.
"Am I supposed to remember you?"
I answered calmly and matter of factly
"Yes, I am your wife, I am Kathy, and I take care of you.
And if it helps, You love me."

Hubby smiled at me and gave me a kiss.

Hey, I'm just delivering the facts ;-)

  1. God bless you Kathy. You have strength that I admire; words can not express my admiration for you.

    You and Hubby are in my thoughts.

  2. Just the facts, ma'am :~)

    One of the things that people who aren't in the middle of dementia don't always know is that are moments of happiness and joy. Yes, even in the hard days those little smiles and kisses can made a difference.
