Our dealing with Alzheimer’s goes down another step on the ladder today. Somehow it’s not so bad when one hears other news.
A dear man, whose friendship and love has spanned 40 plus years, just learned his cancer has metastasized to bone. Words washed away in my puddle of tears when I was told, no phone call today, dear Friend.
Please accept my email as the love and hugs and prayers sent to you from both of us.
God, forgive me for whining about lack of sleep – please comfort R instead.
So, after my Sunday post, I’ve been thinking about Heaven. That was my reference to his being whole again.
Wonder what the case will be, I’ll want to show him this blog. He’ll be glad I did it – but how will I show him? Will God provide wireless, will God allow my laptop? Will God make him whole and then call me, “Psst, Jean, I have a surprise for you! Come here.” and I’ll wait in anticipation, then my man will come smiling around a corner, whole again – just like the good old days?
“Excuse me, God, I have to spend some time alone with my man. He had loving friends called bloggers, although he didn’t realize it while back on Earth. I want him to know what he went thru and how he always remained strong, kind and mellow. You know, God, we never did blame you for it – or think You “gave” it to him. Much better us than a couple who wouldn’t love as we did. But, it was tough. Just a suggestion, but maybe intervene for someone else following, to ease their burden, Ok?
Oh, and God, remember Buddy? Wayne has to be in a pet friendly section of Heaven. Not sure if I ever thanked You for allowing us to find Buddy – they need to be together now.”
I turned to go, then remembered, “God, could you give our family a special gift of love and peace today? They’ve cried, helped and mourned with us on the journey.”
God rolls his eyes, then turns, muttering to Himself, “Does she ever stop?”
He asks, “Do you folks need anything else?”
“No thanks, God, I had them pack my laptop with me. No need for jewelry but I did need my computer. Knew I’d be seeing him again and we would want to go over the posts.You do have wireless? Great! You know, he will love to see all the pictures I saved, also. Remember how I used to tell him the color of his eyes was so beautiful – and after we’re done, I’ll just do a quick post to let our blogger friends know that we’re Ok.”
“Hon, did you hear God muttering again, He must be tired today – - “
Is that how it will be?
I’m posting this cartoon with love – when he is whole again, we’ll go over these posts. I know he will be the first one laughing, “Was I really that bad, Hon?”
“Worse:)”
And we’ll laugh together. This cartoon wore me out watching Helga persevere with her man – ya, she won, but what a fight.
PS – Helga, smooth move with the trip!
