This past week has been a very focused week on me getting on a bowel routine. We did it! Thanks to all the meds, advice of the professionals! :)
As we eat our traditional foods this evening, we realized how things have changed from last year. This year I could no longer stand and I can no longer feed myself, I can no longer hold my wine glass up to make the traditional toast or wrap my arms around my wife.
BUT...I can still talk, I can still eat and drink even though with help, and I can certainly be thankful for the blessings that are mine! Joan and I have just had to rethink how we do things...in fact how we do everything here! But we are doing!!!!......
This is a pic of me toasting my sweetheart! I am married to the most compassionate, caring and selfless woman in the world! I can't believe how she handles the stress and outright hard physical labour that looking after me entails. She is my angel! Christmas has always been a very special time for us. And this one even more so!
We want to wish all of you, near and far, a very Merry Christmas and pray "that the peace that passes all understanding" would be yours this Christmas season and New Year!
