Joyce43 and TexasJoe announce their engagement to be married on November 11th of 2011, in Michigan. The date was suggested by Joyce’s grandson, who said it would be easy to remember since we were so old.
If you go to Facebook and see their picture there, then compare it to pictures of Joe previously there - it is like night and day. It is such a blessing to see the love, joy and peace in their faces.
That is soooooo wonderful!!! I think it is so great that this happened. It is, like was said, it let's us know that there is life after dementia. Thanks for the hope.
There it is folks. The theory that's it's gotta be doom and gloom goes up in smoke. Back to the whiteboard. Now why are these two people getting married? Yes? (a hand is raised in the back) "Because they're happy together??
Ok. How do you spell 'happy'? I forget. ....
Congratulations and my best wishes to both of you. And a tip of the hat to Joan who may not have had a dating thing in mind when she designed the board - but hey!
Joe and Joyce, I also want you to know how happy I am for you. What a great Valentine's Day for both of you. Love still abounds!! May you have many years of happiness together.
Joyce and I thank you for your kind and generous wishes and comments. We are a special family of current caregivers and those who have walked the walk. The support and love given and received on this site is unmatched anywhere. We hope that you all find, at some point in your lives, the peace and joy we share now. God bless you all.
I haven't been on the boards much lately and I'm really out of the loop on this. Texas Joe, the last I remember, you were very depressed. Where and how did you meet Joyce? This is so wonderful!
Thanks Jane, I am a lucky duck. It will be two years tomorrow that Bill's journey ended and I never expected to ever be as happy as I am now. There really is a light at the end of that tunnel and I'm lucky Joe was holding that light.
