Tom came home the other evening from the neighbors..... (Norm's). He's an elderly gentleman, just him and his wife..... and he is finding it hard to do things like cutting up fire wood which they depend on for heat in the winter........
So Tom and I went over to give him a hand....
Winter comes too fast around here and you need to be ready sooner than later. They have nobody to look to for help.So Tom and I went over to give him a hand....
Tom and I use to do stuff like this all the time... We enjoyed it. But Alzheimer's has taken that all away from Tom. Seeing the old man cry bothered Tom........ not like before AD but enough to where he decided he'd cut it up if I'd help........
Before AD... we would have cut up that whole pile of wood in one day and it would all be in the wood shed neatly stacked the next........ and anything that need splitting would have been spit.... by hand..... for fun.....
I didn't think we'd be so young when we'd (I) looked back at the years past and say.... "those were the good old days."
