Thank you, Virginia, for sharing your story with me. I am touched at your tenderness and your willingness to share with me and also filled with compassion for you and your dear husband and your daily walk. It seems surreal to think that we could be there someday . . . especially given that Daddy is the sole breadwinner and we still have six children under the roof. Our youngest just turned seven.

You are welcome, Joey. I have been reluctant to reply to this post as I really don't know what to say, that I have not already said. My dear, you have been dealt a different hand than I was. First of all, my husband is 17 yrs. older than me. We were both retired, the children grown and most were married and living in other places, when my husband's symptoms starting showing. My husband was very active and never looked his age, and still does not. (95 yrs. full head of thick hair, the envy of our doctor!) Since we are so much older than you and your precious one, you may need advise from some who have had a similar road to travel. I also feel compassion for you and what you are going thru. I will always be following your posts and if I can help in any small way, I would love that.
