I had 8 hours to myself today. Our helper from the church was with Jan and from all indications it was a good day for her. I'm always glad when she can have a good day. When I got home we sat and tried to talk about the days events. Well I talked and asked questions and she tried to communicate but couldn't. She generally goes to bed about 8:30-9:00. I started thinking about how I miss the communication between she and I. I really do miss that. It's been along time. Any guys reading this need to know that your gonna miss that talk someday if this happens to your mate. Time goes by so slowly at times, and yet the weeks seem to be flying by. How long will it continue? This is certainly not living as we know it. As one friend told me, there are some things worse than death. I think I know what he is talking about.
Yesterday, we tried to take the dogs for a walk. I gave the small one to Jan and told her just to hold the leash and don't turn him loose. We got down the street a ways and wouldn't you know it, she just turns the dog loose and I have to start trying to catch her dog and hold on to the one I have. I'm sure if you could have been watching it looked crazy. I wound up carry her dog and holding the leash for the dog I had and we headed back home. She just forgot she was suppose to hold on to the leash, so she let it go. We won't do that anymore.
Hey brother,
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about what you miss the most. What would we both give to be able once again to communicate with our Jans?! The good thing is that as time goes by, only good thoughts come to the surface of my mind with memories of the past days with Jan Box. All the troubles that were faced in days gone by are pushed aside to smile at the good things.
I enjoyed my trip to Australia and am back in the groove again here at home. It was great talking with you on the way "down under". Don
