It sounds as if these coming days are going to be very, very difficult times. I'll sure be praying for you both and thankful for your prayers for me. Love and prayers, Jeanie |
Hi (again) Jeanie,
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease. Sheila & I are very sorry that you lost your brother-in-law, Bill, to Alzheimer's.
Sheila lost a great Aunt to it, and she was very close to her. She took Kia to see her, and it made her Aunt so happy.
Kay loved Kia, and Kia loved Kay. Sheila said she wishes, now, more than ever, Kia was still with us, because she knows seeing Kia would make Kay happy.
Sheila plans to visit Kay 3 days a week, during the week. She has many pictures of them together, and she is going to put together a photo album, and talk to Kay and tell her what they were doing together, in each photo.
Yes, the coming days will be difficult. Our hearts ache, not just for ourselves, but for their children, their grandchildren.
They have such a wonderful family!
Thank you for your prayers, you are always in ours.
Love & Prayers,
Rich & Sheila
