I joined him for lunch – - – one of the care aides came by and noticed that Wayne didn’t have his “apron” on – “Do you want one, Wayne?” As she walked all of 3′ to grab one, he said no. She laughed and said, “You never drop food like I do. How about I just lay it in your lap?” He agreed with a smile, a smile only I know but such a precious moment to me.
After she was out of hearing range he leaned close to me and whispered, “I like to humor them.” It was his smile that said 10,000 words and that dear smile of old.
So, there are days and moments of sunshine, it’s just the whole situation which gets me down. Sorry about the post yesterday but that’s how I felt. Dear friends you all are.
So our lives have been rather like a full fledged storm – thunder, lightening – you name it.
I’m very sorry to have not posted – I go to post and can’t bring myself to do it.
Kind of worried I may be getting depressed but have to shake this off, whatever it is.
*****A bit of good news – today was the first i na long time Wayne seemed to really “recognize” me and talk and be animated. One doesn’t appreciate this til it’s lost.
