Sheri wonders what "Bob" would say, if his voice was all his own.
Would he say "Sheri when you leave the room... I feel all alone".
Would he say " I am sorry, for the things I pile around"
I am sorry for the things I lose, like the gift you never found"
Would he say "thank you', for taking care of the family
Would he say "your eyes look tired', and wipe the tears he see's?
Would he know that open arms, are an invitation to hold her tight
Would he know she needs him in the darkest part of night.
Would he say he loves her like the day that they were wed
Would one look be enough to feel the love even with words unsaid
Sheri wonders what would Bob say if his voice was all his own
But Bob's voice is a whisper...and Sheri feels... alone.

So sorry. It is such a lonely thing for the caregiver. Doesn't matter how many people "help" for the one that is there day in and day out, it is lonely.
ReplyDeleteI too am so sorry to hear this Sheri....lonely-ness is well....lonely.
DeleteI feel lonely alot too...and my husband doesn't have AD.
He would say "thank you for being the best partner a man could possibly ask for. You have stood by me these many years when a lesser person would have faltered. We are in this together and when you have to make decisions about our future, you'll make them wisely. I trust you. I love you. I cherish you."
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words, all of them made me cry.
