Bob enjoys singing in the choir at "work" (code for Adult Day Center) so very much. "Al" mentioned his plan to Sheri of talking to the "higher ups" about considering letting the choir sing right in the front entry of the building, so maybe it would encourage outsiders to come in and participate. He said it would be great for business :)
Ah.. once a company man, always a company man :)
This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri looks around her and sees so many people in pain. Everybody has their own journey. All journeys involve joy, sadness, comfort and fear. It may be cancer, a disability, Alzheimer's or other Dementia's and so many other diseases. People are plucked from this earth daily. So if it true that we all have a journey, then what is the purpose of all this? Sheri has learned that for her, the purpose is to learn "faith". Faith is "believing that God is who He says He is, and that He will do what He says He is going to do, even when you can not see the result of that faith".
So Sheri is trying to look at her journey with Bob and "Al" and have faith that this is Gods plan for her. One day at time, one moment at a time. It is a struggle, there are no easy answers. She is lonely and her life is not what she expected. But her life is what God expected. :)
Hebrews
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.

Living with Bob and "Al"
Sheri needs to reduce the clutter in this tiny house she rented. She has learned over the years that her love of "stuff" is not as important as the comfort that organization brings to Bob and "Al". Sheri just needs to find the time to do it. When she looks back on all the "stuff" she has gotten rid of (when they lost their home to Alzheimer foreclosure) she wonders where this "stuff" has come from. But then again she is living in a shoe box, stuffed with well... way more than shoes. :)
