I am excitedly waiting for this new discussion! Your reply here about letting you do it your way even if it takes longer is some much needed advice. Since I was a teacher for 36+ years, it is almost impossible to sit back and be QUIET. However, this is something I can work on starting now.
Our friend, Larry, do you have any idea how valuable you are to so many? Your worth is priceless!

My sentiments exactly! I am trying to be as patient as I used to be in my classroom; however, I find as my husband's disease progresses and my stamina disappears, it is more and more difficult to "sit back and quiet." Yes, Larry, your experiences, insights, and knowledge is invaluable to many of us. My husband is unable to articulate his thoughts as much as he used to be able to do... and he has two doctoral degrees in English! He was a strong communicator throughout his life as a professor, coach, and superintendent of schools. He struggles to put words together now.
