A good day visiting with David; actually the best day in several weeks. Thankfully, he is calm! Here's a very short video, I love the sweet familiar way he raised his eyebrows.
What would I do without my faithful companions? They give me comfort and joy.....!
Easter and my birthday on the same day....... a good and melancholy day for me ........I went to Church, Sunday school and I had our family of 15 together for the day. It felt strange that David wasn't with us, but I was also very thankful that he is being cared for by loving care givers.
Life goes on and God is good!!!

I loved the way he raised his eyebrows, too. Definitely something you've seen him do countless times. How precious to see your sweet David, even for a brief moment. Like the sun peeking through the clouds ...
I cannot tell you how often I think of you. And how I still follow along with every update. Even if I do not comment, I am reading, praying, caring for you and yours. You are SUCH a sweet family.
Wonderful. Praying Always.
Dolores, I love the video, he looks so good and like the way he smiled right at the end. Happy Belated Birthday, it was wonderful that you had all your family with you. Blessings...Lu
Happy birthday, Dolores. I'm glad it came with a blessed holiday, time with your family, and a better week for David.
Oh that is so sweet that I know you will hang onto that little gesture forever. A completely "there" moment. So glad that you were able to have 15 (!) family members for Easter. Moving forward is so necessary and knowing that David is well cared for is a great blessing. Praying for good days...
I missed Your Birthday???? No!!...sigh...Been missing you girlie...
Glad the family celebrated your special day with you! And David looks Good! Such a sweet smile...Thanks for these little videos Delores. Lets us "share" with you.
(((HUG)))
How sweet...what a little treasure. Hugs for you..and you sweet companions.
You are still an inspiration to me.
I am impressed that you entertained on Easter, your birthday. I am sure you have marvelous traditions set for your family and so glad they could all gather around. Also glad that David is more calm.
Hugs and prayers,
Carol
I am happy David is calmer.
Happy belated Birthday! So happy you were able to spend it with family.
Keep well,
Jeannette
Aww, he IS a sweet man even with this awful disease. When he raised his eyebrows you could see HIM in there. Happy belated birthday. I am glad you had somewhat of a good day. I pray for you often and think of you al the time. XO, Pinky
David looks wonderful in the video, he smiles so sweetly and the eyes show all the life his got inside. Happy belated b'day pretty Liz...you look great, even with all the sadness you go thru, but God is always guiding your path with you, I can feel that! I always remember you and YOU are specially in my prayers. Thank you for your kind visits, I love it when you do. Lots of hugs and have a lovely and calm weekend my dear friend.

Good morning..or afternoon.
I just finished reading what you and your dear husband and family have been through..going back, so far, to January! I know you don't and cannot possibly put down in your blog all that you feel and how hard it has been on you..and David.
I cannot say how sorry I am.
I am grateful now, that Patrick did not have to go through the horriblness of living with the results of his massive stroke.
I think the "long goodbye" is worse than suddenly losing your husband as I did Pat. At the time..I wished for time...just a few minutes and made all sorts of desperate promises to God to let me just have a few moments, that God could have the rest of my life for just one minute with Pat...but now I think HE was merciful to not leave him to suffer, as terrible as it was.
My heart goes out to you! I loved the sudden raised eyebrows, and I don't even know him, so I can imagine what it meant to you!
Take good care of YOU. It's a difficult journey you are on.
Sending you a huge hug!

Bittersweet. That sure was a nice smile--I can tell what a good man he is just by that gesture.
Bless his heart. I hope the 'raised eyebrows' brought you comfort Dolores. How wonderful your family could gather at your home.
I love the video of David. A little smile and those eyebrows going up. A glimpse of his old self. Glad you had family with you for Easter. It's so hard when the family meets and one person is missing. but, you know that David is in good hands and that is such a comfort.
Having found medication that helps calm him is so good. The changes are so fast at the end. So fast. Is David still eating good?
Oh, well I'm sending belated birthday wishes your way, Dolores. I'm glad to hear that you had a good family gathering and that you enjoyed it knowing that David is being well cared for. I know he is greatly missed at these get-togethers with the family. Good to hear that he has calmed down, too. You are blessed to have such a wonderful family around you!
Happy Belated Birthday to you! What a sweet video! That will be a special memory for you to hold to! Love the eyebrow raise and sweet smile! Glad he's doing better! And glad you have two of the cutest companions ever! :) Hugs to you!
Belated Happy Birthday, Dolores. I am so sorry David could not be with you on your special day but it was nice that you had a lot of poeple help you celebrate...Christine
Belated birthday greetings to you, Dolores. I know that it must have been hard to celebrate a birthday and Easter without David there with you.
The video is so sweet. I hope the calmer days are here to stay.
Hugs,
Kim
Hi Dolores (again) - I WILL check out your friend who is a chicken lady! I'm trying to learn all I can about taking care of chickens! I hope you've been having a good day!
Thinking of you today! David is so blessed to have such a wonderful caring support! God Bless all of you who care for him. His video reminds me of the way my Mother talked and acted.
Praying for you and David.
