We have had some magical days. The weather has been grand for the beginning of fall. Sunshine and warm afternoons. Our nights have been even better, more restful with longer periods of sleep. Our days have been filled with the joy of our garden. Mother sleeping outside while I putter around her on the house and in the dirt. She does not want to be left alone and is content as long as I am in easy reach.

The medication is working well right now and there are lots of good times and few moments of panic. Still if the meds are a little late it is clear that without them things would be much different. So we enjoy each day as it is. On its own merit. And try not to compare it to the others, for better or worse. We are grateful for the loving and sharing that has taken place.   

Yesterday I dug up some cassette tapes that mother had stashed away. One was German Opera and mother knew and recited all the words of all the songs. The other was a tape that Will recorded for us over 10 years ago of a German radio program. I have always cherished it as the announcer recites a bit of poetry as he sets up each new piece. We enjoyed that over breakfast today.   

Don't forget to Love each other
