On nice days Tom takes Emily and Lilly for a long run.....he rides......the 4-wheeler. When they leave Maggie and Sarah are unhappy. Sometimes he gives in and lets Mag ride on the 4-wheeler with him....... BUT she's so heavy ......
Well today we ALL went. Yes! I finally got to go for a ride in the woods.... I dressed to go for a walk. I told him just a few minutes earlier I was going.... I slipped out the door and left the girls with him......" Aren't you taking the girls..." he hollers out the door. "Not on the ROAD!" I yell back.

I SO knew what that meant. The girls were having a fit and he couldn't deal with it.
I walked back to the house and let them out. They about trampled me.... but I quickly jumped to the side of the door. Good thing I have cat like reflexes.... quick on my feet.... : /

I walked the girls almost to the county road and back. As I approached the house, Tom was cranking up the 4-wheeler....... He pulled up next to me and asked if I'd like to go for a ride in the woods?
We took all four girls and just went slow so they could play....... They ran and played and sniffed.... Sarah was loving it as she got to be with her big sisters.......

As we drove along on the 4-wheeler I realized Tom was in his own world....He stopped at a fork in the road and we walked. The girls ran ahead except for Mag....she walks at Tom's side.
It was a beautiful day.......
Does my post sound or feel empty? Something so terribly missing? After all, it was a beautiful, warm, sun shinny day......... We were all together, in the woods, where we all love to be.......
I am only a shadow.......
This is only a small part of what Alzheimer's claims............The "WE" of what we once were...... And he doesn't even know....
