Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri was recently contacted by a woman working with the Cure Alzheimer's Fund . She asked me to share the link to the new song "Remember Me" (an Anthem for Alzheimer's). This is a beautiful tribute to all the "Al's" in the world, worth watching and sharing.

Living with Bob and "Al"

When Sheri dropped Bob off at work (code for Adult Day Center)  yesterday, she told Bob to have a good day and not to work to hard. Bob got out of the car, and then "Al", (first stretching out Bob's back in his usual way), poked his head back in the car door and said "well, maybe I'd better....just to get it done."  :)

Living with Bob and "Al"

Most days Sheri feels like her head is above water, even if only barely above water. She woke up today with an intense feeling of being lost in her life. Then she thought of how Bob must feel lost in the life of "Al".
Sheri hates this disease.

Luke 19:10 
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.” 

"Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri REALLY needs to take down the few remaining Christmas decorations scattered about. "Al" keeps asking who is coming over for Christmas Eve :)

Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri is sure Bob's watch (that "Al" can no longer read) is some where in this tiny house she rented.  "Al" is frustrated as well because without it, he can't display his new fashion trend of putting Bob's watch on over his sleeve cuff. :)

It was not quite as frozen in the frozen tundra as January usually is yesterday, so Sheri followed her own advice and filled the car with Bob,"Al" and her camera and headed to the Minnesota Zoo.  It was clearly what the doctor would have ordered, and with the exception of having to ask a kind stranger to retrieve "Al" from the men's restroom,( he could not find his way out) all went rather well  :)

Living with Bob and "Al"

Sheri has realized she might be running in overdrive again. She has learned to recognize the symptoms. The depression sneaks up and tears start to flow. She thinks it might be time for a camera day. Taking pictures nurtures happiness for Sheri. Simple pleasures. she likes to call it. What nurtures happiness for you?

Living with Bob and "Al"

Bob was apparently "extremely" busy at work (code for Adult Day Center) yesterday. "Al" reviewed all the personnel files and looked at what department they all worked in. He said he "tried to decide if he could move them around a bit, but you know that doesn't always work out because some of them can only do one job ." Sheri enjoyed the short conversation, even though that is the only thing Bob said the rest of the evening. Oh wait... he did mention fixing the boiler yesterday too. :)

Sheri's heart needs some attention.

Bob was frustrated when Sheri picked him up from "work" (code for Adult Day Center) yesterday. "Al" said "the crew he has just doesn't seem to get it, they just don't want to work."  :)
