A blessing.

I don't know if it'll be any consolation to care-givers. I had moments when I cried during the 13 years I accompanied dear Jeanne on her journey through Alzheimer's. But there were many happy moments mixed in, too. When I could make Jeanne smile. And make her happy and joyful. Sometimes, all it took was a long ride outdoors in a wheelchair. Or a nice warm shower in the evening. And a body massage. And a good night kiss. And just being there. Jeanne died over a year ago. But I'm not crying any more. Because I am focused on all the good times I had with Jeanne for almost 40 years. Oh what sweet love. A blessing. --Jim
