It is two weeks ago today that we moved into our new home. I really do love it. I love seeing the sun streaming into the living room windows in the early morning. I love the fact that my husband’s wheelchair is not blocking traffic areas nearly as badly as it did [...]
It hardly seems possible but we are finally moved into our new condo! The last couple weeks have been very busy. I have been slowly moving over little things. I even had help with these before big moving day activities from my son and a couple of other ladies from my church.

I hadn’t had a chance to listen to Wednesday’s blog radio program with Mabel R. who takes care of her husband. Tonight I had a chance to do that. Even though Mabel’s husband’s disease is different than my own husband’s disease I can relate to some of her feelings in many ways.

On Thursday nights my husband, Wayne, and I usually go to our son’s family home for supper and the evening. Last night the granddaughters 7 and 6 years old got a make shift bowling game going with plastic glasses as pins and a plastic ball.

Our son, Brian, and his wife and 17-month little girl flew out from London on December 14. Although Brian has been home in between he has not been home for Christmas for about 7 years. That was and is a wonderful blessing. Our middle son, Troy, and his family live near by.
We [...]
Denise asked us to tell our stories during this week. Those who have been with caregiving.com for a long time knows my story, but for those who do not I will try to briefly tell my caregiving story.
In April of 2006 my husband, Wayne, went into our family doctor for a routine check-up. [...]
We had a great Thanksgiving service in our church Thanksgiving morning. There was lots of sharing of things people were thankful for via power point. (things people had submitted in written form earlier.) There were also some people who stood up and gave verbal thanks. It was a very moving service.
Then we went to [...]
