Another day and a couple of memories. When sitting quietly in his favorite chair, Mac said - I remember vaguely that I drove you home on my bicycle bar many years ago..where was that. I said, it was at Pine Beach - oh yes, said mac, you tore your bathing suit getting out of the boat..That's right, i added, you brought me my sweater to cover the tear which was right on my back side. Then we both laughed.
That happened so many years ago, when we first met at Pine Beach, Dorval, he drove me to my friend Marge's home on St. joseph..(lakeshore road) I was 15 he was 18...actually that was the second time we met and that's when it all began.
One would think he would go on with this memory, but no...right after we laughed - he said, Am I on pension now - yes i replied, where is it - in the bank? Correct i said, and they send you a statement to show what you have spent...and ever the keen economist (which was his work position) he said, oh right, must check that out.
For many i know this is very sad to read, and it is, especially for myself and family...but I should say that when we are together he is content, and loving -so then we are both happy. His only lapses into sadness or anger is when he can't be with me, but he is a little more relaxed now when I'm away on my day of respite. But really it is important. they say for me to go, but I'm just as happy as he is when i return.
