If only I’d known what the future held,no, I’m sure that would have been wrong.
I’ll bet everyday that I think of something I’d ask Wayne to make. Tonight it’s a purse rack like the stores have. The other night I drooled wishing there were a laptop holder on my treadmill. All I had to do was ask and he’d come up with the plan and do it.
My brother and his partner renovated the suite in their home – did some work themselves but had to hire out a lot. Wayne would have loved to go for a visit and custom build stuff for them.
He did a lot for family and friends, also.
I guess the only way to look at it is that I had it good for many, many years – something like 35 years before AD raised it’s ugly head. Have I ever told you that I hate you Alzheimer’s? I have? Well, I hate you more than ever.

I think we don’t always fully appreciate what we have until it’s too late. My dad could fix and build anything, and he loved doing it – so he was always offering. I’d give anything if my husband had been that way.
Oh Jean, I totally agree!!! I hate Alzheimer’s so so much! I miss all the things David could do in the past. I took so much for granted, never imagining our life today.
You lose so much, don’t you? More than one realizes.
What a crummy, stinky ol’ disease!
Jean, you’re absolutely right, it really is a rotten horrible disease. As sad at it was to watch my beloved father go through it, I believe it must be many times worse when it’s a spouse. I’m so sorry you’re going through such a sad time.
I am right there with you….I hate it too. Last few weeks to work and my memory is getting so bad. I am starting to worry about myself…Maybe just stress….
I hate it for you too. Sandie w/♥
