Today when I walked in, he was sitting in a chair directly in line with the door. Our eyes met and he arose as if in a trance. I smiled at him and we walked toward one another. With the most incredible tone to his voice he said, “It’s you, it’s really you, how did you find me?!”
He hugs me almost to the point of hurting and just wouldn’t let go. Today he stopped just short of crying.
What makes me feel sad is worrying that he is worrying that I can’t find him.
After this initial emotional time, we had a nice visit.

Isn’t it wonderful to know that he remembers you – even if he doesn’t remember that you come every day.
It does sound as though Wayne is going through something different.
Oh, the swiss cheese of AD, preserving & destroying.
Blessings on you as you keep climbing on this journey. I pray for you for strength.
Alzheimer’s/Dementia…… is so unpredictable; it keeps us working hard to keep our balance too……doesn’t it?
Hopefully his worry is only for a short time, but I can certainly understand your sadness and concern.
You’re in my prayers each day….
I think you need a hug, (((HUGS))) sandie
This certainly sounds like a new type of anxiety for Wayne. What in the world causes such changes? Bless you heart and Wayne’s.
Even with his memory going…he still…knows he needs YOU.
Golly, this just brings tears to my eyes.
Oh Jean, my heart is breaking for you. It’s so hard going through this, isn’t it?
Sending you hugs and healing thoughts.
Haven’t commented for a while, but I think of you every day as you struggle though this tangled web of AD.
I cannot post a comment sometimes because I feel you pain and then I realize I must post a comment and acknowledge your struggle in order to share you pain. You and Wayne are always in my prayers.
I am so sorry…it is like your heart aches…The only thing that could help is that one minute he is wondering where you are, but, the next minute, he forgets he is looking for you….
