We went to a Christmas parade last night and had a good time. She appreciated getting out and the holiday event. Thanked me for driving her. When I showed her the short iPhone videos I'd taken to message to my grandchildren, she didn't know who those people were. It was like most days, some good comments and some comments that kill the heart. I decided this week that I would partner with God on this journey to give me strength. I knew my feelings were building up, cried this morning and it helped me reset.

@elliottw I don’t know how anyone can make this journey without faith. It can be so hard. My husband is never sure who I am now and that hurts my heart so bad. When the kids are coming over I try to “refresh” his memory by going over each one’s name and the names of their family members. I know he won’t remember their names, but he does know they are his family, and he enjoys their visit.
