@gently Thank you for your helpful words. Lowering my expectations will be a huge help. Mary

@gently Yes, the "world of emotion and the place for acceptance" so well put, and just being able to create those moments that @memoriestomoments talked about. It's so easy to drive ourselves nuts over the same repetitive questions, the craziness when you get in a car and they get so anxious, the disrupts at the PC when they know they're not at full capacity, yet they somehow make you feel inept. With all that said, at least they're here, still talking, and/or can even get in the car. Too many people on this site have lost their loved ones form this disease and it's sad, really sad. My heart goes out to every one of them. This is confusing, but this I know: I just want to hang onto my husband as long as I can in this together - whatever together means as we move through this, for better or for worse. Best, Karla
