    It has been 4 years since my beloved husband Paul passed away from Parkenism, Alz, and Vascular Dementia. Like most of you, the diseases consumed most of our lives for many years. At least 15 here. Most of you have had it worse than I did and I have been forever grateful that I was able to keep him home. I did not have the wandering, sundowning, incontinence that most of you had.

    A new friend has entered my life. He had been married for 43 years to his lovely wife who died of breast cancer and been a widower for 7 years. We are soul mates and spend most of our time together. We both understand long-term caregiving and loving marriages. It is wonderful to have another soul-mate at the age of 76. I never thought it would happen to me. So, my message to you, this Christmas season, is that your life is not over, it is just beginning. So, keep yourself in good physical shape and healthy and don't forget there will be a tomorrow. God Bless.

    Merry Christmas and Happy New Year..and may you and your new friend share many pleasant days enjoying life.

    Oh yeah, and as my Ozzie used to tell the girls when they were about to depart on a date.." Be home by 11:55 PM. Nothing good ever happens after midnight!"
