We still think of ourselves as young, but both of us get a kind of shock when we say our age, but then Mac will say oh well, I get mixed up and think I'm in my nineties. So what's important here is our health, he'll say we are both so lucky we're healthy.
That's how good we feel when we walk, enjoying the sun and all the rest of the beautiful scenes we see as we walk. Sometimes I will say, but remember you have Alzheimers which means you are losing your memory. I love it that he always says, yes, but what's important here is, we are well now, and healthy now and have each other now...so that's all we need - i'm not going to worry about my memory. I usually add "just as long as you don't forget me' and he will say NEVER.
I love it too, that it's important to him to know just where the sun is, he really appreciates it. We will be walking along as we did today, and he said do you feel sun on your legs, even though it's much cooler today, isn't the sun warm on our legs. We check out the clouds, which ones are covering the sun, we check out the birds that walk ahead of us, what kind is that he'll say, he used to know them all. Yesterday a monarch butterfly followed us as we walked..we watched this butterfly with so much enthusiasm. We talk to passing dogs, babies and who they are associated with as well as stray cats, rogue squirrels that run in front of the cars, tiny chipmunks there amazing fun wherever we are. Mac knows what's important.
