Thank you for your kind comments and observations. His telling me that, shook me up only because I had just read about entering this stage of the disease (on Mayo).

To bed, still glancing at the clock at 3:40am til exhaustion swept me away for some peace.

It kind of reminded me of A Jackson’s song, “I’d Do It All Over Again.”

We have danced to that song many a night so this was exceptionally touching for that reason also.

But mostly, for where we are at in the journey.

    I passed your Blog on to a friend of mine – who has a dear friend just starting out on her ‘own’ journey through all of this.

    Oh, Chatty, what a journey it is. Thanks for faithfully reading. No need to ever worry about commenting. I hope the blog helps and doesn’t dismay her.

    I am Chatty Crone’s friend and my dear friend is taking this journey hard. She knows something is very wrong. She is so sweet and kind. Her husband is afraid. I try to lift her up… Her blog helps so very much. Thank you.

    I’m going to listen to A Jackson’s song on You Tube in a minute.

    You should be writing a book, my dear. :)

    You know they say that if we all put our troubles in a pile we would pick up the ones we were dealt with at the end of the day…Maybe that is because some people do a better job of taking lemons and making lemonade rather than just becoming sour…think her name is Jeanmac.
