very well said Vi.


Hi Pepi Mint
I did reread your post and so I am going to quote something you said in it,

He said "wanna sit on the porch and drink some coffee with me??" I said yeah, that sounds great! Let me get some coffee..."

I go to pour me some decaf and said "well, I need to go to Cool Springs anyway to get them to reset the alarm on my car"

he says "what do you mean, anyway??"

I think your hubby was looking forward to your being with him on the porch and your joining in a cup of coffee with him. Seriously think about the different situations and maybe there is something you can do to help make things better.

Jack and I will be celebrating our 51 year wedding anniversary this month May 19th, I am not going to say through our earlier years it had not been without squabbles, we had our share but we never lost sight of WHY we got married, and growing old together has been marvelous. We had lots of differences too, but that's okay we are all individuals, needing each to be
ourself. That doesn't change things and one's love for the other. We just worked around those and let each other be the person of their own opinion. We have seen lot of heartache through the years, illness's, loss of loved ones, so thankful to have each other to gain strength from one another through those times.

We have come to the time in life that Jack is trying to get through each day coping with Progressive Parkinsons, The Lord has helped us get through so much in this lifetime and we find ourselves leaning heavily on him more and more. I myself can only pray and ask the Lord to give me the strength I need to help him and give thanks back for giving me the patience through the years of the many struggles we had to endure to reach the age we are and be Blessed with the time we have had together.


I pray that things will work out as I know you really care that they do.
Please know this is all typed to you in sincere good thoughts and with love.
From the both of us,
Patti and Jack
