As a caregiver and Toms wife, my job is to see that Tom is as safe as possible but still allow him to enjoy and get out of his life what he can...
Tom LOVES the woods.....simple as that. It's easy to get him confused as to where he is, in the town he grew up in, on the rare occasion I get him to town. But in the woods it's a different story. But as the disease progresses, he will eventually get lost and confused in the woods too.
I promised Tom that I would not take that away from him. He was free to roam the surrounding woods as long as I feel he is safe to do so. So I have been in contact with the local law enforcement to see what we could set Tom up with for tracking him in the event he didn't find his way home.
$$'s is an issue for us and the Sheriffs department but they are willing to look into any idea or product I come across. They will continue to look too! So I am open for any ideas?
My brother and his wife so generously gave us a vehicle as ours bit the dust. Tom's sister and husband took me to get the vehicle as it was out of town....We are surrounded by a host of GOD loving people who open their hearts to us and so generously help us ..........
I do not know how to thank everyone who helps us and remain apart of our lives.
I know that's not easy for those who do not understand the disease and it's progression.
The personality change and the inability to reason or even understanding simple sentences at times, reading a news paper 3-4 times because you know you read it but don't remember what you read, and the frustration they feel leading to angry outbursts....... It's a scary feeling to slowly lose yourself and being aware of it. And it tears me apart to watch him slowly disappear as a stranger takes his place.
THANK YOU EVERYONE! GOD BLESS YOU!

Super women took a nose dive into the ground. She hit with such force she was buried for weeks. A heavy equipment operator was called in by God. He dug till he found her. She was still breathing but emotionally frail.
He took one look at her and he felt something he has never felt before. So when God said take care of her and love her......he did. He tried to walk away but couldn't....God filled him with an abundance of all the qualities he already possessed and said use these now to help her grow to her full potential as one day you will need what she has to give......
So he put her on a pedestal and kept her dusted and polished for years. Everyday he would polish and shine her and gave her everything he had inside as God instructed.
As the years slowly passed........and she shined like the brightest star in the sky......(He did an awesome job).....but now he was slowly losing himself.
She asked God with tears in her eyes " where is he going?" God said "he is going back to where he first came. It's a long hard journey and he needs you to help him get there safely."
I will give you an abundance of all you need to help him on his journey back to me, for that is where he came from.
So to those who ask why? Because I believe in fairy tales...He is my knight in shining armor...... He literally guarded me with his life.....
