After a catch to the toilet, I position Dotty inwards bed. She wasn't complaining. This did surprise me.

Several minutes afterwards she was asleep.

I was wondering what was going to hap this morning.

All started off every bit usual.

Before I started writing this  I took Dotty for a ride. It is then vivid together with sunny hither today you lot wouldn't believe it. There are no clouds, only blue. The Sun is hot hot hot.

When nosotros came habitation I position Dotty out front end amongst her lunch, a loving cup of coffee, together with Harvey. I left them there.

After a while, I went to larn her. I said, I came to larn my peeps. Dotty said, what peeps? I said my people, you lot together with Harvey.

Dotty looked upward together with smiled. She seems really happy together with content at the moment.

Right right away she is eating a mound bar together with yakking away amongst Harvey inwards the kitchen.

So far everything is going good today.

Last nighttime reminded me what Alzheimer's is like, what it is all about.

Today is my viii twelvemonth anniversary every bit a caregiver.

Today things are much ameliorate than in that place were 8 years agone from my perspective. To many of you lot that mightiness audio crazy.

I didn't await to live on at it this long. I'm surprised. One affair for sure, I didn't larn bent out of shape concluding nighttime similar I would bring many years ago.

I'm non actually certain why I run across things the means I do. Someday I approximate I'll live on able to write most it, together with position some existent perspective around my thoughts together with feelings.
