He's Back

Tiptoeing through the underbrush.  It was good to see him again even though he didn't do anything but stand around.  He's still a magnificent critter no matter what he does.

Today would have been my husband's 79th birthday, always kind of a melancholy day.  It's so hard for me to grasp that he's been gone 16 years.  Frankly, I didn't think I'd make it past 16 days without him.  He was struck with early onset Alzheimer's which I wouldn't wish on anybody.  I was lucky that my family made it possible for me to stay with him until the end.  He was a very special man and I cherish the memories of our life together.
