Too bad she had to live for so long after all the wonders ....... she must have missed that life badly.

I know it is a second Sinatra song on the trot but this one is so apt for this fine lady.

HELLO ANDY, ANGELA HERE! Its 10:30 am (FRIDAY) in Auckland and my first clinic is 2pm and an Evening One for people who have to work. BRIAN thought I would be more empathetic in respect of the situation you face 24/7 with your Beloved Wife JOYCE. When I do \"Home Visits\" for Physio & Massage I constantly meet couples One of whom has Dementia. AROMATHERAPY using essential oils (monoterpenes) can calm and relieve anxiety. The situation is a sad one as described in your excellent Poem. In their own Home I offer to pray with people especially if they are Catholics. Some of them ask me \"Are you a Nun ?\" don\'t tell Brian! It should encourage you to know that Clients who are Christians cope much better than those without any FAITH. I loved the way you sat down and reasoned it out with GOD like JOB did very very cathartic. Knowing how hard it would be for BRIAN (me going to NZ for a Year) I talked to GOD about it and His answer was You will learn so much about yourself in NZ (as nowhere else) grasp the opportunity, I have given you Ruth as a \"SISTER\" and absence will deepen the \"true love\" I have given You & Brian, which it has: AMEN Your Poem made me cry it was so from your HEART. It gives me Faith to believe BRIAN & I could cope with any situation: AMEN Love SINATRA (singing anthing ~ Brain likes DEAN MARTIN especially when he sings in Italian ~ what do you think ? Brian & I will be of-line until 31st July : Angela
Brian sends his Love & Prayers to YOU & JOYCE

Andy,
You will see...
Your faith will
get you through!
A friend of mine once told me that God was giving me as much as I could handle and not more than that! I just laughed and didnāt believe a word of it!
This happened during one of my darkest periods! I did make it...and you will too!
You are a survivor! Your faith will keep you strong! Just think...where would Joyce be without you? You are where you are for her! Stay strong! Love to you and Joyce!

Goldie. We are after all only humans. In a body that is impossible to live perfect forever. You nor your wife are being punished. It happens to all of us at some point or fashion. Be strong. Be brave. Mostly remain happy with what you\'ve had and the sweetest of memories. I wish there were a cure. However life doesn\'t end here. It goes on in another dimension. Hold on to hope and just know that she loves you without ever ending! We all need understanding and patience is never easy. Hugs Goldie. I see your pain everyday in my neighbor. She can not even take her husband outside without help. He wanders away. Does not even know her name at times. So sorry.

This is like some Psalms and sacred writings that other people have expressed at times.
It is reasoned and thought out, not a blundering in, though Job\'s wife wanted Job to curse God.
My poem today may seem \'triumphalistic\' to some (long word there!). I\'ve put things like:
\'Full of faith and the Spirit\'.
\'The life of God radiates from him (Stephen)\'.
Yet this is so for you too, I believe. Also for me, in my maybe \'lesser trials\'.

\"They say that time is the fire in which we burn\"
When you\'re young it does feel as though time is stalking you. You don\'t really begin appreciating things until you get older. Thanks for the awesome poem.

HI ANDY ~ Thanks for showcasing ELLA ~ Best Blues Singer ever ans SUMMERTIME is perfect for her unique voice.
Time is a PARADOX because each of the 7.6 billion people on the Planet ~ get a pristine gift each night / day of 24 precious hours ! To say we\'ve no time is ridiculous ~ we\'ve all got plenty of TIME ~ It\'s how we use it that makes all the difference. I value each hour and uses my time wisely as does Angela ! Life expectancy in the UK is now 88 for Ladies and 85 for Men. Si I\'ve got another 50 Years (time to learn WELSH) and ANGELA nearly another 60 !
Thanks for sharing ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA. Love your attitude towards TIME ~ CARPE DIEM ~ HALLELUJAH !

Great write again and stirring up my thoughts.
We\'re such rational beings, we like to see feel touch smell hear things so we can easily understand them. They\'re tangible. But time as you suggest cant be seen touched smelled etc, ... it\'s here and no sooner than it arrives a piece of it is gone ... that\'s worse than thoughts, at least we get to remember those.
But old buggers like us have learned to capture times treasures before they fade with our failing memory facility. By writing about things happening to us today, we can recall them in the years ahead... works for me, so far, anyway.

Although time is a strange thing quantum physics is showing us \'proff\' it always exists the past, present and future nothing stops it all last forever.

A fine write Gold. I still rush sometimes, but I\'m \'getting on a bit\' now too! I don\'t bother so much about being driven, ambitious, etc. Not that I was a dynamo to begin with anyway!
Also the song : \'We have all the time in the world\'. Louis Armstrong?
Meanwhile - I wish I took time in 1066. I rushed, and said to Harold \'Look up, Sire\', and he did. It\'s not a fable! lol.

Thanks ANDY for showcasing Kathleen again ~ this song requires her pathos. I can understand why it complements the poignancy of your experience. I can EMPATHISE not because I am facing similar but because of LOVE ! When our loved ones suffer we suffer with them because we can\'t suffer for them. Being separated from ANGELA by 11,500 miles (and 11 hours !) is hard but we can phone & Skype. Your POEM encourages me to believe that whatever happens to US in this life our TRUE LOVE will survive ! ANGELA has made her presence felt today by POSTING \"Spanish Haiku\" and a FUSION on Languages ! Thanks for such a POSITIVE POST ~ It lifts us all onto higher ground and gives us all confidence for the Future ~ AMEN ~ Yours BRIAN & ANGELA
