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.....

Yesterday when we woke up the sun was shinning and the skies were blue....Tom said .."should we take a ride down to Granny's?"...... I replied with my usual "what ever you feel like doing!" He thought about it for awhile and said..."awww heck...let's go...we can see how far the river is out too....It's something to do"........
Yuppers...we made the trip to Granny's.... I'm thinking it's probably been a year as we usually will take at least a spring ride to see if the river is out and how high it is and how many idiots are out there fishing and freezing their hind ends off.....(There were quite a few : ( And they looked cold brrrr......
OH MY....Granny was surprised!!!!! Romeo took one look at Lilly and dove into his box in his cage and we never heard a peep out of him the whole time we were there......
The girls were on there best behavior......Lilly and Scooter played....Maggie kept Granny's feet warm...( Mag loves Granny)...... and after a bit the cards came out...
Tom said to Granny... "Bring it on.... heh heh.".... Now Tom's words, before we got there was.... "I'm going to kick Granny's butt in a game and than leave..... ha ha."
It was fun.... Tom was being a stinker as usual trying to get Granny all riled up and it appeared he was able too from time to time but even Tom is no match for Granny when she has her mind set.... She doesn't go down with out a fight..... Come to think of it.. " NOBODY has YET got the best of Granny" Those two are just too funny..
Than we headed home...Tom was getting antsy....AND of coarse...Tom was glad to be back home.... He said he enjoyed the ride and the visit but he belongs at home with his three girls : )
I always agree with him as it makes him feel better (normal) if he thinks I'm like him... so I said "me too" and he said.. "yeah ..because your like me and don't like to go anywhere either and be around people... hah? I said.. Yes, I'm just like you!" He answered.. "that's a good story" I said......" yes that is a good story" and than he let out a sigh of contentment........
And I said a short prayer thanking God for the lovely day, Tom's pleasant mood and most of all, the time with my MOM. I Love You MOM!
A funny story.....Tom and I have both put on a "little" (okay a lot) weight this winter : ( .....and of coarse we are trying to lose a few pounds... I'm not concerned as I know once we can get outside we will drop it back off....But Tom is obsessing about it...
Hence the "we're on a diet again"....... It took two weeks for Tom to take down his exercise apparatus that he so proudly invented and didn't use. Than I rearranged the furniture for summer and put the tread mill away...... which he used twice...
Well he is trying a little harder this time... He has stuck to his diet for five days now... diet consists of not eating junk food, pop, bread and butter and smaller amounts.... and the tread mill....... it's back out again.
Sooo the other day after he did an hour (3 miles) on the tread (second time since onset of diet )....... I "peeeeked" around the corner of the bed room where he was watching TV and I caught him laying on the bed doing some funny looking exercises....
I asked what he was doing..of coarse I was giggling at how funny he looked... he knew it and was laughing too and said "none of your business"
Well it seems he pulled some muscles in his lower back and is now walking funny and groaning a lot... I did ask if he was sure it was his back that hurt.. He said yes and than admitted to some of the contortions I DIDN"T see the other night... He felt it than.....
So this morning when we were having coffee in bed he turned on the news to check on the people who are flooding out in North Dakota... There was a pic ture of some young congressman on vacation sitting in a lounge chair in just shorts and a woman with big boobs standing behind him in a bikini and they had him on for a moment....... He is young and thin.... Key word thin..in shorts and tan....
Tom, through his pain, was trying to be funny and said something about how he looks like that..... I patted him on the back and said.. " I know sweetie...your such a HOTTIE " Oh My... I thought he was going to cause himself more injury as he tried to hold back the laughter... Guess it really hit his funny bone...What a beautiful sound..... his laugh can make the world laugh.... : ) Those that know it, knows what I'm talking about.....
❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦ ❦
OH BABY!!!! Now there are two HOTTIES!
I thought I'd share a picture we both laugh at... We call it....... "Mid-Life Crisis"
......When we were young and foolish..... : ) I hope it makes you laugh or at least smile...
The weather has been ........ let's use the word "CRAP-Y" since I last posted.... I've been "expecting" things to take a down hill slide..... I shouldn't use the word expect as with Alzheimer's...you just stay "on guard"..... but weather has always brought the UGLY-S out in the past so I've been Waiting?....... Expecting?....... On Guard?........ At the same time PRAYING........I haven't been well for awhile now.... I know..... "You have to take care of yourself so you can take care of him...... easier said than done. Basically I have a chronic sinus infection and all the woes that go with it; which I have had since August 2008..... I think I'll use the word SUCK-Y to describe how it's been.. I've seen Dr.s 7 times during this period.... I'll be having a CT scan now followed by an ENT Dr. We'll see how that goes?BAD WEATHER, OBSESSIONS, ME SICK......... all trigger bad behavior on Tom's part.... It didn't this time...INSTEAD so far (he's asleep right now) he has been talking about how blessed and grateful he is for GOD, friends, family and me....... This is more like the "Ol' Tom" : )He has been reminiscing about all the things we have done together, the memories we have created are never ending.... and when he forgets, I tell him the stories and he loves to listen to them.... because even if he doesn't remember the details the stories bring back the FEELINGS he had at the time..... He's been even waking me during the night to tell me how much he loves me and that he's laying there thinking about us and the life we have shared........When Tom woke at 7AM he said he had finally fell asleep around 4:30 Am..... And that he will be going back to sleep after he's had a cup of coffee in bed. While we were having our coffee he said it was a long night.... He thought about us..... and how blessed he was... and that he was aware that he has been having good days lately and was happy about that and thanked God..... He said he doesn't like it either when he has bad days as he is aware but can not control it..... I said yah "I don't like it either and neither do the girls"... He said "I know... I'm sorry. I thank God everyday for you and sometimes all night long"........... I said " is that when I feel you groping my face?" He laughed and said " I have to make sure you are there!" We both laughed and I said "it's okay... I think it's kinda funny"***********************************************************************
Added Later today........
Definition of good day ..... These days that mostly just refers to his mood and how he is handling everyday life.... Today was the BEST as we laughed about nothing till we had tears in our eyes and couldn't breath..... we use to do that a lot..... as far as his other losses... Good day today means he isn't aware of all his losses....bad day is when he catches himself and realizes..... That makes him sad.I wished it was just a memory disease... It would be so much easier to deal with and accept....... ❤ I Miss You Tom ❤
Nope...He's not dead...He is basking in the sun........Enjoying his fire.
Yesterday he decide to start cleaning up the trees that fell during the winter storms.... He decided that when he found out I was CLEANING house.... ha ha ha... That worked for me because he had the girls with him too and I could see them from the window.He really enjoyed the day out there with the girls...... He said while he was out there he would look at the house and think about "MOM cleaning the house while DAD was out cutting wood"..... (It made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside)
Since the mental release of beaver trapping, due to acceptable circumstances, to a dedicated trapper........My dear sweet little boy has returned....
We had Tom's Sister and Husband out for fish yesterday...... Jason gave us a bag the other day when we stopped by... Tom likes to share it when we have it as it's such a treat to be shared if there is enough......
Tom really enjoys their visits...... I heard him on the phone saying this...."because they like our girls (dogs) and spoil them as we do..... so he doesn't have to worry about making them behave and they make themselves to home so you don't have to worry if they have everything they want... like a cup of coffee or whatever...
And what I noticed is they make Tom feel good about himself... That he is just fine being who he is..... and the way he is... that he is just as good as anyone else and he doesn't have to make up any stories about anything to impress them........
So he is really relaxed with there visits and just plain enjoys their company.......I have to say I enjoy their visits too because it's relaxing human contact for me too!.....
ile......
wondering if I should call the Daily Journal (Home Town Paper) This story must be Really amazing....
