Finding Myself Again - Part Six

As the afternoon gave way to evening, I walked about my living room floor for fifty minutes before the clock read 8:07. 'If I call right at eight, I'll look too eager and pathetic!'

Finding Myself Again - Part Five

Fighting For My Sanity For the next six months, my life consisted of keeping my head down, my mouth shut, and my eyes dry. I couldn't think of anything except my writing.

Finding Myself Again - Part Three

The Last Good Time It was a beautiful October day by Upper Peninsula standards. The sun was shining, the wind off the big lake was light, and it was almost 70 degrees.

Finding Myself Again - Part Two

As time went by, and the wound in my heart began to ease, I began to decide to sort some of the things that were Judy's possessions. Part of me wanted to keep her stuff forever, but another part of me knew that what few visitors I did get might think me crazier than they already did. You live a life... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Fifty

And The Rest is Silence From the time I started this story, I kept asking myself how I would end it. Knowing the nearly inevitable path of patients with dementia, you can figure out where this story will end or has ended. I don’t care to recall or relive any part of that projected ending. I’ll leave... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Nine

The Long and Winding Road For several months, Judy was much more like the woman I had known all our time together. We held hands and kissed as we had always done and said our three words at every parting. It was a wondrous time for us, but then she began to change. We would talk, and she would...

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Eight

The Final Time I hoped that after a day or two, Judy would snap out of the emotional coma that had engulfed her. But it didn’t happen. She realized who I was, but she didn’t respond to me as my wife had always responded to me. I would talk to, hold, hug, and tell her I loved her, but she had very... Sign in to see full entry.
