"The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love"
Today is David's 73rd birthday.......
David was raised in a home with so much love!!
David's sweet mother took so many wonderful pictures in the 1940's and 50's.....
His family didn't have a lot of material possessions.... but they sure had a lot of love!
We've lived with Alzheimer's for more than 6 years .... the change of time on his medications and the addition of the supplements has been wonderful. He sleeps most of the night......he continues LOVING his classic country music channel......and our life still has many good days.... thank you God!

Love the photos...all smiles...Happy Birthday To David from Tennessee!!!
Walk right in to wherever David may be sitting ~~ give him a huge hug and kiss from his friend Helen in Bend Oregon!!!!
This just blessed both my hubby and me to pieces. Thanks for sharing the quote that David has kept tucked into his wallet. I think those kinds of things are the dearest of all philosophies.
Good to know that things have been brighter with the changes made.
A very happy birthday to David!
Love to you both...
May you two have a very special day to celebrate David's birthday. He's handsome now but those pictures of him as a lad.... so cute!!

We thank the lord for his mercy and blessings. Praise the lord for giving you and David these good days.

Wonderful, sweet photos, Delores. A loving childhood and family is priceless. The first birthday photo is so cute. Happy Birthday to a great guy.

Wonderful pictures. I thought his Dad looked like Bob Hope.
I stuck photos into small albums and my Dad would enjoy looking at them. Some were photos from long ago, but I also put in photos of his grandchildren and great grandchildren who didn't live nearby. Then my sister started sending him albums with all the pictures labeled. Sometimes he's just sit there and thumb through them and I'd wonder what he was thinking.
I didn't realize that David is only 73. Happy Birthday David! I hope you both have a wonderful weekend.
Happy birthday, David!!
What wonderful pictures! His mother was beautiful!
I'm so glad everything is working right now. I hope you are well and taking care of yourself too!
hugs and kisses,

Happy Birthday to David! (I'm just getting caught up on blog reading). It's so nice that you have so many pictures from his growing up years. They're all great. I hope you and David have had a wonderful day celebrating!
As with Laura, I am just now catching up reading your recent blogs.
Happy Birthday to David ~ I hope both of you had some unexpected blessings on his birthday!
Thank you for taking precious time to record your feelings on your blog. It sounds as if your husband and mine are at about the same stage of AD ~ I do not feel so all alone when I read what is happening in your lives and the gracious way you are handling these not so welcome changes. Also, thank you for your much earlier blog concerning items that make your life easier, esp the bidet and the monitor.
God bless you both,
Joyce in Missouri

Happy Birthday David!!
Happy (belated) Birthday, David! A life well-loved ...
Delores, thanks (once again) for sharing these precious photos. David's mother's beauty is astonishingly all-American and natural. She could have been a model. And what a dashing father. And the sissies? I have always been taken with their curls and smiles. ::happy memories::happy sighs::
Have a great week, sweet friend.
How beautiful! God Bless you!
Happy birthday, David! David is a loving man because he grew up surrounded by a loving family. So wonderful to have those pictures...Christine
I hope you had a lovely day :) Birthday wishes, Jenny
Dolores,
You are so great with posting pictures here and always having a positive spin on your posts. Incredible that David's family took all those photos. My husband is 73 now also.
Happy Birthday, David, and hugs to his lucky bride.

Whoooo Van Harte Gefeliciteerd!!!

Happy, happy birthday, David!
I love this post, happy birthday to David, and blessings to you Memory Keeper.
Happy Birthday David.
I love all of the photos. You can see his beautiful spirit even when he was just a little boy. David has probably lived more life than most men. Traveling and creating a beautiful family with you. He certainly chose the most wonderful bride to be his wife.
His spirit still shines in his beautiful eyes, and the reflection of yours.
