Living with Bob and Al

Sheri  has been mourning the loss of her garden all winter long knowing that because of the financial situation she will loose her home and her cherished gardens.The ones that hold so many tears of laughter and pain of her life. She had hoped that all the changes, a new place to live, and so forth would be over before the frozen tundra, melted into Spring, one of Sheri's favorite times of year. Sheri loves going out and gently raking away the oak leaves that provided a blanket for the tender shoots just breaking through the crust of the cold ground. She feared the pain of seeing her gardens bloom one more time. But plans are not quite in place yet for a new home. Bob and "Al" are in the nursing home, and Sheri is waiting for word about medical assistance. So Sheri has decided to change the way she is seeing things. She realized that in the deep self pity she is drowning in, her eyes are clouded by premature tears. So instead of mourning the loss of her gardens, she is going to choose to embrace this delay, as a gift from God, to let Sheri enjoy one more season of watching the incredibly beautiful cycle from snow to brown to beauty. She will take her rake and one more time, unearth the life...a symbol for her that life goes on. A part of her love of life that Alzheimer's can not take from her. At least not this Spring.
