We loaded his belongings into the car, I pulled out of the parking lot and was “lost” as took a different exit.
He had repeated over and over that he hoped it wasn’t a dream. I looked over at him and said, “I’m lost.” We booth burst out laughing, agreeing that only I could be lost by taking a different exit from a place. “This is proof you are not dreaming, Hon.”
Moments later I heard huge sobs, he was crying so much. I pulled over and held him. He still repeats that he hopes it’s not a dream. Today at 8:10am it was 48 hours since I arrived at his room.
Slowly it will get better with lots of hugs and love.

Whoa, goosebumps here, you did it, you both survived, what an ordeal… and I hope a little triumph. I am so with you on all you do on this difficult journey!
I can only echo Judy’s words. Goosebumps and tears.
God bless you both.
Oh, Jean–this is such a tugging story. As much as W’s journey is hard for you, sometimes we forget it is also hard for him.
Oh, my. What you are going through is too much righ now but you will continue to be light hearted at times. Chin up, Jean!
My heart goes out to you right now. I wish it weren’t so tough on both you. I admire you for continuing to write and share your journey with us. I’m amazed by your strength. God is awesome!
Still praying for you from Michigan.
Love,

This disease is so confusing to me. I don’t understand so much of what is retained and what isn’t…..but obviously you are there in is mind, no matter what. He doesn’t realize what a blessed man he really is. Glad you were able to laugh together. What a treasure.
What everyone else said. I’m happy for you both.
The only word that I can share is….bittersweet.
Wow, what a tremendous mix of emotions – I am not even sure what to feel or what to say. I am glad that you were able to share a lighthearted moment, though. Here’s to more lighthearted moments to follow!
