You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked and gas pumped, without asking. You did not pay to use the air hose and you got trading stamps to boot(LOL)
Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.
No one ever asked where the car keys were because they were always in the ignition and the doors were never locked.
Playing baseball with no adults to help kids with the rules of the game.
Being sent to the principal was nothing compared to what was waiting from your parents when you got home.
Can you believe Lyle and I will be celebrating 6 months of being in love. We are going away for a couple of days for our first Valentines Day together. Very special plans.
We struggle each day with the dementia but always get through. Times when he gets a wee bit depressed as he hurts to know he does not remember some of our special times together. I just take his hand, pull him close and kiss him. Then I tell him not to worry as I have it all documented and he can read it anytime. I would be fibbing if I said it is all fine. I hurt inside to see this awesome man losing some of his memory. But I will never give up on keeping him as alert as we possibly can.
I had a Valentine candy bouquet delivered to him and the card simply stated: You bring sunshine into my life and I love you unconditionally.
Hi all Just having a cup of coffee before retiring for the night. Lyle is sleeping so I am trying to be quiet We have been having a wonderful time getting to know each other and tolerating the little nit picky things. Life is too short to fuss about such trivial nothings.
I did not read this complete thread. I have been gone awhile but I can tell you this. Lyle is 16 years older than I am, but that means nothing to either of us. We love, honor and RESPECT each other and will until our dying day.
I have been gone awhile but have an update. Most of you know that I met this most wonderful gentleman. Lyle and I have been together for 3 months now. We recently received the results from his brain scan. His doctor had us put speaker phone on as he wanted me to hear so I could explain it to Lyle later.
My sweetheart and lifelong companion has a form of brain dementia and there is nothing can be done. He will continue to lose his memory. But I LOVE this man with every ounce of love in this body. I refuse to believe nothing can be done and I work with Lyle on a daily basis to keep his brain remembering recent things we have talked about and recent things we have done. He remembers many years back but struggles with recent things. He is my love and I promised to take care of him for the rest of our time together.
Thanks to all of you awesome and beautiful people for responding to my last thread.

I knew you could kick those habits, cold turkey.
