Time Will Tell

"Time will tell.." Time has told... I am getting way to old... The sun is no longer brighter then the moon I can't tell a fork from a spoon I don't drive anymore I only sit and stare I have to have total care I used to speak when spoken to I could react and know what to do I used to tie my own shoe laces I used to go places I once worked on a job for many years This disease was my worst fear My mother and grandmother passed it on to me I can't see what you see I used to smell flowers and saw how very pretty they were Now everything to me is one big blur Family and friends ask me things and I can't reply Only Our Lord and Savior knows why For I know I am here with you all and I know that it's going to be okay Just love and care for me each and every day We will meet again this I know When God calls me I have to go I will tell the others I see that you said "hello and you will see them soon" I pray for you my child that the sun stays brighter then the moon Love Always

Deeply sad but with depth of insight. I was caregiver for my parents, Dad stayed responsive, but Mom spoke for a short while with her eyes before the silence set in and her eyes finally dimmed. Love this !!

Thank you Ms. Debra! Caring for them is such a Blessing. Though they are silent their characteristics remain.
