I’m finding sadness is setting in from the unknown. Dad is physically weak, and yet there’s hope in his actions and humor. His heart has become weaker, his mind confused sometimes, and yet there’s hope in his thoughts… The uncertainty of today and his tomorrow’s way heavy on my heart.

Being on this journey nearly alone is difficult. The juggling of a mom with dementia and a dad in rehab is exhausting, mentally as well as physically.

I am committed to be there for both my parents, I feel children should be there for their parents, making them part of their schedule…
Forever gone is a long time!

As I continue on this journey into the unknown, I pray for strength, peace and hope to see us through till the next journey begins…

Having had my mother over for dinner and watching her actions, the reality of her sadness has also set in. Realizing how scared she must be, I find myself filled with many emotions, wondering what tomorrow will bring for them… knowing what they had for 62 wonderful years…

Emotionally Exhausted, but still counting my blessings…

In love, awe and daily wonder!
