Yes, the more I think of it, Jeanne and I still need each other. Jeanne needs me. And I need Jeanne. I still get much sustenance from Jeanne. It's a two-way street. We get sustenance from each other. Alzheimer's hasn't stopped the two-way flow. Oh, sure, life is different with Alzheimer's. But still, on a daily basis, I find something to savor. Something to feel blessed about. Just being with Jeanne. Helping Jeanne. And Jeanne helps me so very much. Boosting my morale. With a smile. Or a word. --Jim

Jim,
You said it my friend!! For all the heartache and difficulties I'd rather be with Karol and anywhere else.
Take it a day at a time.




We live with someone named "AL ZEIMER."
AL won't leave - - -

Jim:

I know what you mean. We spend so much time thinking about how our loved ones need us - but recently I've been thinking about my life. So much of it revolves around caring for Eddie - when he's not here, I imagine I'll be lost.

He's also good for my morale - always telling me he loves me.
