o my god visited with Bob today, he saw me, looked for a couple of mins, biggest smile ever and said ' my sweetheart where have you been i missed you' what a feeling of joy I felt, he always called me his sweetheart, I also got the biggest hug he even tried to get out of his wheelchair. I know this may never happen again but he hasn`t fully forgotten me yet, this has givin me a lift i so needed I took him outside to sit in the garden and he was looking around with eyes wide open. God gave me a gift today. Gail
Gail, maybe the full moon is having a reverse effect. Today, while we were sitting on our porch (see "Checkin For September), DW kept rubbing my back as she used to do and tellling me that I was "wonderful" and that she loved me.
Gail....Your post reminds me of the Kathy Mattea hit "Where've You been". It was a song written by her husband about his grandmother who had AD. It was a beautiful song. That visit was a beautiful gift.
this sounds crazy but we are seeing that some of us are having a 'good ' effect from this fullmoon or at least better than others. could it be possible that moons during certain months or seasons affect them differently aka goodvsbad. ? wow. profound!
mine too has been overly alert since yesterday. laughing and smiling and talking to the dogs and eating sitting in his chair and commenting on things he never does normally. repeating VERBATIM long phrases i say to him... quite extraordinary. xxxx fingers i dont wake up:) Divvi
Gail and Marsh, you both had special moments to treasure. That's wonderful. Divvi, I hope you're onto something and that the full moon is having a positive effect.
thanks for your coments I am so glad I had someone to share my happy day with and I`m happy for you to Marsh, just that little coment and a stroke on the back can mean the world to us right now, I hope you all get smiles from your lo
That is so great!!! I am sure that you are going to remember this for a long time. I felt like there might be hope for my blues. My DH has quit telling me that he loves me. I try not to show that it hurts and I will tell him that I love him and sometimes he will repeat what I say and sometimes he won't but he has quit initiating it. Oh Well I guess that is just going to be part of it from now on.
Gail, what a wonderful gift! And Marsh, you, too. I believe Bluedaze had one recently as well. I guess maybe that's God's way of letting us know we matter!
i will cheresh that smile forever cause today it was not there, he took a long time to realize our son was with me and took a little while before he got even a hi son, then he grabed his hand and all was well. he had that alzhemiers look on his face the one where the face just cannot do what he wants it to, the mouth ,opened teeth showing but mouth tightens like he wants to smile but can`t, i don`t like that look. that brings back reality, Gail
