Last Good Day

It goes without saying that life is no fun for caregivers either. That may sound selfish, but this disease disrupts both lives. Like many of you Jan and I often talked about where we wanted to travel when we retired. Fortunately, we did get to go to New York and Niagara Falls in about 2002 and that was a very special trip. This past mothers day it occurred to me that this could be the last mothers day she will remember and I still feel that way. But each day the thought comes to me that this could be the best last day ever for her. With that thought in mind I am so thankful that the lord has trained me to enjoy service to others. I loved coaching, but I loved the restaurant business and ACU was the best. In all of those jobs God was preparing me to have a heart of service. Each day when I begin to feel down I just think about how this might be Jan's last best day, and I want to make it special. Believe it or not, this job needs patients and believe it or not I think the lord has blessed me with patients. Think about that for a moment. What if you knew that this could be your last best day and that everything after this is gonna be worse That is exactly where Jan is. She has no control over the future. I pray that I will always have the strength to give her the best possible day that can be given. this is what the marriage oaths are all about. In sickness and in health. She certainly filled my life with Joy, love and laughter. Thank you lord.......
