@ktcosmos Thank you for your kind compliment. I think I have patience because he's in the mild stages - still independent although I am doing a lot more for him than I used to do. I call him my renaissance man, I remember when I married him, so beautiful inside and out. Because the brain deteriorates doesn't mean we should lose who they are and will always be in our hearts. I woke up this morning, and started to sing, "Here I come to save the day, and he told me he was my "care partner." I guess those are the things we need to hang onto now, as we navigate these unsettling waters every day, never knowing what's next and when. Best, Karla
