Hello all,
I decided I would start a blog rather than have a variety of posts scattered hither and yon.
Today's visit went well. Although I had been prepared to stay longer, my beloved nodded off after lunch so I decided to steal away. I hated doing that, but felt it would be easier on both of us. Had I waited until he woke and then told him I had to leave, I could only see pain and heartache for both of us. I drove home with a heavy heart wishing I could live closer and see him more frequently. I finally managed to get his CD player going today and put on one of his favourite rock and roll CDs. It didn't have quite the desired effect I'd hoped for, but at one stage he did actually start to respond in only his inimitable way and he held me close and we danced briefly. He was quite alert today and semi-lucid at times. When I arrived, I found him in a side room, having his hair cut. His first words to me were: You're beautiful! I am so lucky he still knows me, and I treasure these moments, because I know it's not going to last. I HATE THIS DISEASE!
