As a USC Trojan, he still loves to watch college football and basketball, and all of our family talk about the "March Madness" games gave him something to be involved in and look forward to. Now that it's over, he's sort of without a focus. I'm trying to get him interested in pro basketball, but it's not the same.<br/><br/>Love to you and W., Jean. I am thinking of you and praying for you.<br/><br/>Love, Laura I have the opposite problem with my Dad.

Love to you and W., Jean. I am thinking of you and praying for you.

You are walking a path that some of us have not had to walk. It may be we do have to walk this path--and your gentle wisdom, your grace under pressure and so uplifting.<br/>Of course you ache and grieve--and we grieve with you.<br/>Please keep sharing--for our sakes as well as yours.<br/>Maybe the score is AD 100--you & W--99 but that is not the final game. As you say, someday the score will change. Jean–we, your readers, grieve with you, but you are doing us so much good. You are walking a path that some of us have not had to walk. It may be we do have to walk this path–and your gentle wisdom, your grace under pressure and so uplifting.
Of course you ache and grieve–and we grieve with you.
Please keep sharing–for our sakes as well as yours.
Maybe the score is AD 100–you & W–99 but that is not the final game. As you say, someday the score will change.

My spouse (ailing with severe emphysema) not only doesn't leave the house much due to breathing troubles, he can't abide a dusting of chaos at home either. After my Mom died, the phone rang lots, doorbell too, out of town guests came. I thought he would lose his mind...and take mine with it. Something about these men and noise I think.

He will not go to sports events or movies now, since they are too loud for him and he cannot abide crowds. I will really miss that in our future; especially movies.
