Today was Valentine's Day. I couldn't help but remember past Valentine's Days with the flowers and candy and cards received. One year he decided to get me some chocolate covered strawberries because I love them so much but when he found some that were $6 each he decided to make them instead. He bought a whole carton of strawberries and some chocolate kisses, melted the kisses and tried to get it to stick to the strawberries. It was a mess but I ate every one. Today I made a special point to love on Cowboy and tell him how much I loved him and Happy Valentine's Day. Actually, I try to tell him every day that I love him.
I asked him if he knew what day it was and he didn't. I asked him if he knew what day Valentine's Day was and he didn't. I then asked him how long we had been married and he said 23 years. It has been almost 34. He also did not know our anniversary. Of course, tomorrow he may.
Had a quick lunch with my Red Hat lady friends today and then took some lunch home to Cowboy. I know it will not be long at all that I will not be able to leave him at all. It was nice to get out and visit with the ladies. They are all so wonderful and caring.
Last night Cowboy fell asleep while I was still reading. After awhile I glanced over and he had one arm in the air. He seemed to be trying to reach for something. Sometimes at night he will start and raise up in a confused state and then go right back to sleep.
The sharing of your day to day experiences is inspiring and helpful. It makes me realize that I need to take joy in all of the positives in life and cope patiently with the negatives.
ReplyDeleteI pray for you and Cowboy often. You are a special lady.
