    I glanced at a picture of Jim and I this morning as I was getting dressed. It was taken on our 2nd date. We looked so young and healthy and oh so in love. It's only been 6 years, but it seems like yesterday. Then with that thought, I looked at a picture of my kids when they were little, wow those years flew by! Jim was dx'd in March, it seems like years ago. Time is dragging as I watch him decline, it is so painful. I know it will be over before I know it, but right now it is painful to watch him so unhappy. I want to grab my grandchildren and keep them babies. Keep them safe from the cruelties of life. Let them enjoy their childhood as long as possible. Sprinklers, popsicles, bicycles, fireflies, smores, snuggly blankets, cookies and milk, hugs and kisses from dirty faces and sticky hands. That's what I want for me as much as I do for them.

    Yes, time drags. There's a Dutch book about a spouse with AD, and the book is called "The year that had 1000 days." A good title.

    Jeanette have you heard of the book, "The Long Good-bye"? Those titles sum it up don't they?
