Any news of her at all lights up his day! I showed him a picture i took of her with my cell phone and he was immediately pleased and then his eyes filled with tears. I can become very teary when i think of the loss of your mother being who she was; all that knowledge of teaching children and the love that she shared is gone. The love between your parents is very strong; the mention of your dad's name will often bring a smile to your mom; reminding her of something he used to say to her a lot will sometimes make her laugh. I think you could make many parrells to the story "The Notebook" with your parents - with, of course, the exception that she didn't write in a notebook about thier life so that he could read it to her. I think by the time they acknowledged that something was wrong, the alzeheimer's was already too advanced for anything like that to happen.<BR/><BR/>The evidence of their love is shown in how their children are behaving taking care of them, their needs and their property. You have all worked together in such a wonderful way and their has been no 'pilfering' of their things when you've come home. Your dad has shared that you have all decided on some things that you want. It's so nice to hear your concern - weather by phone or in the written word, for their health and emotional needs. <BR/><BR/>Press onward - that the Lord may be praised in your works!Family funhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244883348871639637noreply@blogger.com
