I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Finale

Epilogue Toward the end of this story, I couched my words. There are many memories I want to relive by writing them here, but there are also memories best left to my wife and me. For the story’s purposes, a detailed description of the slow loss of the beautiful soul that was my Judy is nothing more... 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.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Seven

One morning, I went to take a shower, and just before I did, I checked on Judy. She was sitting in a chair in the middle of our little living area. Feeling safe that I could be gone for a few minutes, I jumped into the shower. I noticed that Judy and the dogs were gone as I got out. I wasn’t worried... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Six

The Beginning of the End It took several days for both of us to realize what had happened. For a stint, Judy was much more like her former self. I don’t know what I was, but ‘nervous wreck’ was probably the most apt description. She saw herself as free from the worry of hurting someone, and I saw us... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Five

Slowly I Turn On the surface, Judy’s return to work seemed seamless, but just as most people didn’t see the changes going on before, they weren’t seeing what was happening behind the scenes. The woman who had always been the sweetest thing I had ever known was becoming foul-mouthed and nagging about... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Four

So Many Miles And So Little Time As it turned out, leaving earlier than we had initially planned saved Judy’s job. Making the run north to US-10 was easy, and we were soon westbound on US-10. We had been running in smooth traffic until we hit a massive stoppage due to an accident just east of New... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Three

Let’s Move The beautiful thing about this old-style complex was that it had the best swimming pool we ever encountered on our many travels. The bad thing was that the air conditioning units were almost as old as the buildings. If we tried to cool the unit down to less than 84 degrees, it would blow... Sign in to see full entry.

I Remember Judy - A Love Story - Part Forty Two

And Travel We Did! I had a friend take care of our home while we were gone for the first year and on the road. I initially thought that we would be nomads for a year, maybe three tops. When it was over, Judy worked as a ‘traveler’ for eight years. We were into adventures, and her new job most... Sign in to see full entry.
