So thankful for all the cards, emails and notes on my birthday. Somehow many people remembered and made the day a good one. I gotta stop having those things though as I am sure I have made a mistake in counting the years somehow. I can't be this old. It happens doesn't it.
It seems as though some things stay the same while other things keep changing. The routine that Jan and I have worked out seems to help her function successfully most of the time and enables me to cope with all the situations. I do miss the communication from her and I am finding out how good she really was at keeping things going with kids and house and stuff. It seems like meal time comes up at least every hour, or it seems that way, and how can that many clothes be dirty from two people? She did it without complaining and I never knew how much she did. She was good and she put up with me.
Today we were brushing her teeth and I asked her what my name was. She paused for a minute and then out came a quiet answer....Don. I praised her and then I asked what my last name was. She laughed and tried to evade the question, she didn't know my last name. With such things you can't make anything of it, you just go on to the next thing on the list. But she didn't know it. I tried not to think too much about that as I try each day to make the best for her that I can. If I even get negative with my attitude or tone, she picks that up real fast, so none of that.
