Well I also "found" myself in the "Corps". I was quite wild as a "teen". I ran away from home at the age of 15 and tried to join the Corps then. They sent a telegram to my parents and got back that I was only 15 so I was rejected. When I turned 17 I did join. I sometimes wonder what I would have been had I not joined. I now have 3 great kids, six grand kids, and three great grand kids. (the last one arrived three days ago.) I have been married to my wonderful wife for 68 years. She now has dementia and cannot remember even my name. I have her here at home and here she will stay. We have lived here for the last 55 years and here is where we will die.
Sorry about the long dialog, but sometimes my fingers just keep typing.

You have a wonderful evening and the very best to you and yours.

Touching narrative. Thx

Depending on a lot of unknown factors . . .

coconut oil has reportedly been helpful with some dementia, even sending some Alzheimer’s into significant remission.

Certainly doesn’t hurt and is cheap enough.

Congratulations and best wishes for your youngest great grandchild -— 3 days old!!! WOW! You and your wonderful family are blessed!

I’m so sorry your cherished, sweet wife has taken on dementia, but somehow I think she must know she is with you in the home you have made together and that you are caring for her. God knows and he loves you both.

You’re truly special and I treasure you and your friendship. Hugs, love and prayers always.
