Creator, bless my eyes
that I may see with love.
Bless my mouth that
I may speak with love.
Bless my heart that
I may give and
receive love.
Bless my hands that
all I touch feels loved.

And once the storm is over,
you won't remember how
you made it through,
how you managed
to survive.
You won't even be sure,
whether the storm
is really over. But
one thing is certain.
When you come out
of the storm,
you won't be the same
person who walked in.
Haruki Murakami

Thanks each of you! I have made an important decision to reframe how I view my situation. My husband has dementia and is in hospice care. There is so much sad to focus on. It has been filling my frame. But I realized I get to see him everyday. A 30-minute drive away. He knows who I am. We share affection so I'm just going to focus on that and enjoy that as long as I can. And in the future I will deal with what is happening then. But may I always see the beauty and joy of simply being alive and feel gratitude for it even when I am sad. Thank you for being part of our journey!
Thanks for sharing your situation, Cloudia, and for spreading love and light even when life feels more cloudy than sunny. Today's pics and quotes are amazing.
Strength to you! It's a scary time. I took care of my father with Alzheimer's for 10 years. He lived in a nursing home for the last 4 years. He received good care and attention. There were also other people so he didn't have to be alone. He fell ill with a fever last spring and never recovered. We went every week for another four months to take him out in a special chair. He could no longer move on his own. It was an important time for us, we got to be with him and learn to let go of him. Then in the fall of 2018, I got a call at night that my father had passed away. We went to see him, and my father just seemed to be sleeping. It was terribly sad, but on the other hand, a great relief when my father was able to leave. I have good memories of him.
Hello Cloudia,
My father also had dementia, it was a sad time.
You are strong, focusing on the good.
My thoughts and prayers with you and your husband.
Wishing you peace and joy!
Hi Cloudia! ♥ The rainbow photo is lovely. I'm a big fan of Rumi!
And still so strong . My wife have alzheimer also in an early stage but sometimes its just to much. Great how you keep up your good work.
...enjoy each day that you are given.
Loved the 1st photo and Murakami's quote.
Best wishes to you and your husband to enjoy your togetherness in all circumstances.
Such pretty flowers in the first photo.
Good thoughts heading your way, Cloudia. I went through this with my parents and it is hard but rewarding at the same time. Hugs. ;-)
Thank you, Cloudia, for letting us know the condition of your husband's health. I will keep you both in my prayers. Knowing that he still recognizes you is such a comfort for both of you at this difficult juncture. May you feel the strong arms of God surrounding you both with His love.
