An interesting thing has happened to Sheri over the last several years on this Alzheimer's journey. Like many people, Sheri has felt like she has always been somebodies wife or somebodies mother. And the reality is that is who she wanted to be, that was the answer to "when I grow up I want to be" statement. Sheri has been very satisfied with that accomplishment. But what she has learned by this situation, her blog, her loneliness and her desire to get out as much as possible with Bob and "Al", is that she has interests. She can say that she is a writer, and a budding photographer. It takes allot for Sheri to say that out loud, because of her own self confidence issues. Obviously, she would not wish this life on anyone, but it is what it is, and she has learned allot about herself in the process. Sheri is going to keep chasing the sun and the silver lining, or in the case of this photo she took last evening, the gold lining. :)
Psalm 139:13-14
13 For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
