    Ray is alone

    I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers..I stayed with my hubby for over a month when he had his stroke as he was very depressed and confused..and didn't really know very much about his surroundings or happenings going on...
  7. I can only offer hugs and prayers as we live in Canada and things are different here as far as health care goes. It is the same here they keep putting you off on to the other guy and passing the buck. Just when you think you may have found some help or advice you are told you should see so and so who is either not available or does not exist..Perhaps the VA could find him some help or couselling..

    a golden day

    great to hear you both had such a wonderful time... nice to hear Ray enjoyed himself so much...we had our 40th a couple of years ago and hubby was not that ready to be with so many people as he was still quite emotional at the time. We actually just used up one of our gift certificates last month and really enjoyed our supper,, were given a piece of cheese cake with a candle to celebrate even though it was like two years past..have many pictures ad lots of memories....

    I'm Home

    Bonnie nice to have you home again..Congrats on your quitting smoking and nice to hear your mother inlaw is doing so well..Hubby is still coming along and I hope he doesn't get depressed as this is very hard on both of us... Talk to you soon...
  11. Sorry to hear of Coopers passing... so nice that you were there and comforted him in his last moments... he sounds like he is in a happy place now.. our friends just lost their Bejion at Xmas. Their doggie was also around 15 years old and she had a real personality and definately a member of the family..I don't think they will get another as they like to travel.. My hubby's nephew has a cross-- shitsu and minaiture doberman,,very cute and she just loves him follows him all over and licks his pudding cup or anything that he gives her...Enjoy your new doggie, loved Coopers blog????

    A SAD FAREWELL

    Tommorrow we will begin our journey to the end of an era.. We will leave from Calgary to Kelowna BC, where we will meet up with the rest of the family. With my brothers and sister and some of Mom and Dad's friends we will have a funeral Mass, lunch and mingle with the people. From there we will go on to a private internment of their ashes..It will be a sad day for us as it is a final resting place for people we all loved.. Dad passed away 20 years ago and Mom still had his ashes as she wanted to be buried with him.. Reliving 20 years ago will be very hard for me as my Dad was special to me.. He is the one who named me Deenie as I could not pronounce my real name.. He had nick names for all of us...Mom was sick for the last year so we knew she wanted to go, but dad died of cancer rather quickly and wasn't ready as they had just moved to their new condo.. He never really enjoyed it.. as they only had it a year. got to go to bed as it will be a long day tommorrow and a tiring week end... Will fill you in on the rest when we come back..
  14. Thank you for your blog. I too have helped out my mother in law and cared for her house and yard when she was on holidays, making sure all the garden and flowers were watered.. then when she went to the condo after Dad died we always made sure she was well taken care of.. We brought her meals when the homecare was not available..then when she went into the nursing home we were there for her.. Later on when she needed feeding we all helped and she died in our arms.. I think I would have done the same for my Mom if I had been closer as she just passed away just a couple of weeks ago... My sister inlaw and I, all the grandchildren and even the great grandchildren made her life happier just being there for her...I also try to help if some one can't do things and don't expect pay. If I can do it,it feels good...
