She must have been one hell of a lady before the tragedy struck and she is so lucky to have one hell of a guy to continue loving and caring for her

It\'s the letting go that\'s hard isn\'t it Andy.... and the feeling guilty if you do. It\'s such a hard process...... I\'m glad you have friends and family to talk to. There\'s nothing wrong with wanting to live.... she\'s going where things don\'t hurt her.

No TV - outside right now! Those were the words I was brought up with............ sunny day - out! Plus an occasional spanking which I always knew I deserved and which hurt them more than me.........love the music!

Sad reflection on the way (some) parents bring up their children these days. One of my grandchildren has just spent a few days with us and not once did he look at an electronic device except to look the name of a song he\'d been singing with his Dad - we had a great time and he didn\'t want to leave - he\'s 6 by the way.

One of the first things the EU did to us was to remove the right of a parent to chastise their child. Did that improve our society?
I like it when you get political. Unlike politicians Goldfinch, you use common sense.

I shan\'t tire if u play more sinatra. I have high regard for his singing and learned so much from him. Limited range and amazing phrasing.
Great piece today G. A fine tribute to those brave ladies piloting all sorts of aircraft without ammunition in wartime.

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\'.
