Living Day to Day and Smile.

I came out to Alice's this afternoon after Bible Study.  She was in a very good mood.  We ate lunch and I played with their new dogie.  Her name is Molly and real cute.  she is about two years old.  I will get a picture tomorrow.  I think Alice enjoys her since Molly is always wanting to be petted.

My Sis loves to vacuum and she did it for at least an hour over and over, but not with the old vacuum, but a new light weight sweeper Irv got her.  lol The best gift he could have given her.

Alice kept asking when she should start dinner.  Irv said he had a roast on the grill and not to worry.  She finely peeled potatoes and I made a salad.  Boy she sure takes a lot of time to make them perfect. 

Dinner went well and then when she finely came into the front room she seemed to remember me, but it was getting dark early due to the rain and the changes set in. 

She forgot she was married and wanted to know where were all the people that was here, but were gone.  I am not sure what she was remembering, but it was just Irv, David and me here.  She seemed lost in her own house. 

No one can imagine how hard it is to watch your loved one change right before your eyes in a matter of hours.  Even minutes.

She started talking about being in the hospital, but not this last time with her hip, but when she was in her late 20's and was going through a very depressing time in her life.  Her memories had gone back many years. 

I went into the bedroom I sleep in to change into my robe and I guess I was not fast enough, because she got worried and told Irv that lady went in the room and didn't come out.  When I came out she was in the hall in body, but not in mind.

I could tell Alice was trying to figure out I was doing here.  I asked if she was confused ?  By then she was not sure that Irv was her husband.  She asked if I was his wife.  I told her I was her sister and Irv was her husband.  She said no I don't think so and went back in the room and asked him again.

He  had told her many times in the evening he was her husband and this last time he told her no .  that really upset her and she told me he was made at her.  I told her he was joking and she calmed down.

I could tell she was really tired and I asked if she wanted to go to the bed and she said she would, but didn't know what she could wear.  I asked if I could help her since I have stayed and knew where she had put her gowns and PJ's. At least I thought I could find her gowns.  She moves them all the time.

Got her ready for bed and she hugged and kissed me for helping her.  It just makes me want to cry .  It is so not fair.
Then again she said she was so glad we finely got to meet each other.  Me too.  She was glad God gave us the same mother.

Well tomorrow is another day.  I thought if the rain is not bad I will take her out to the store and then to lunch.  She really seems to like to do things with me like this.  I call it the Girl's Afternoon Out!  Good for Alice and good for Irv.

My eyes are getting heavy and I think I will get off the computer and go to bed.  For some reason I don't know why , but I get sleepier earlier when I am out here.
