I’m sorry it took so long to post that Wayne had been admitted – I just couldn’t write the words.

Buddy was really confused the first week and would go downstairs, howling, calling. Made a sound like his tail was being pulled.

In the past, Buddy would go down, call for Wayne and the chase would be on. I guess he thought if he did it enough, Wayne would eventually appear.

Now, it appears Buddy is adjusting and no longer calling.

Thank you so much for you kind comments and prayer. It’s very difficult for Wayne right now and he is lonely – funny, I always sleep on his side of the bed and last night, smelled his pillow – couldn’t smell his scent which was both sad and good, I guess.

He wonders what is “wrong” with his body and still asks me. I’m not sure how it came up but we got talking about prayer – I asked him if he’d like to say a prayer with me. “You better, I’m not sure my brain would work.”

It’s a cutting situation and I couldn’t talk for a few minutes, finally I hugged him and said, “Dear God, please give Wayne peace.”

He responded with an amen.

Today I spent 2.5 hours with him and took him wlaking within the facility. We sat in an alcove which held reading material and 2 wicker rockers. After a half hour, I took him back to the ward. Sat with him for lunch – they offered me a meal but I couldn’t eat.

Hopefully he slept after lunch.
