of the house he d say something along the lines of you be good. and honor the lord. i know god is always with us. and god allows things to happen for whatever reasons we don t understand his ways. god has always been what s given me strength to face each day. i just trust in him for the rest of our our journey. the bible says a merry heart works like a good medicine. and bitterness is like drying us to the bones. so it s just healthy all the way around to keep a merry heart. you ll be healthy and not just to fight alzheimer s but to fight anything you re up against, if you can keep a good sense of humor. what? going to get you in and out of the shower for the show. you ve got a show to do. yep. got to get you in and out of the shower. yeah. let s go. i m doing this. no. it s really hard to get him to take a shower. because he s always cold.
pantry on a little stool just in there by myself. because i refused to look at him that way. my mom couldn t have a conversation even though she still knew me. so we would sit on the couch and watch tv. and i would sit with her feet in my lap and pray. i would just pray for grace. but i think that s just part of my defense mechanism. i do not want to see him being an invalid. i don t want to see him degenerating, you know? i don t want to see glenn in that condition, you know? i think i think it s better to die from something else. my mother is young enough, she s in her 60s now, but she s young enough that we don t have any signs of that yet, thank god. it s a very good chance and then i m probably next. so it s it s like let s figure this out, can you? i m 41. figure this out before i m 70,
