My sincerest apologies for not answering y’all in individual posts, but I’m sure y’all understand, and I’ll try to kind of do it here, as I don’t want to clog up the thread.
@ajrwdwgirl , thank you so much for your kind thoughts, words and prayers. Carolyn is taking it pretty hard, as is to be expected. I know you lost your mother earlier in life. We have been very fortunate to have Shirley (she was named by her mother for Shirley Temple, actually) with us for so many years, and we feel very blessed in that regard. Again, thank you so very much.
And yes, Belle and Ranger have always kind of been Shirley’s guardians, even since she started living in our home a couple of years ago.
Even more so now, and dogs are indeed the best.
And, thank you so very much,
@MinnieM123 , as your kind words and input is always appreciated.
Thank you very much
@John park hopper , and yes, family and friends were here over the weekend, and it definitely helped her.
My folks were here, and my mother and father are devout Catholics. My mother has administered communion to the sick, and has worked with Alzheimer’s patients for years. They were of great help to Shirley, and all of us.
Thank you very much
@rshell68 , not to preach too much, as I’m not the perfect example, but it is what we sign up for when we take those vows.
It is my honor to be here for her last days, and make her as comfortable as possible.
@93boomer , I also appreciate your kind words and thoughts very much, and I’m also sorry y’all went through that with DHs Mom.
It’s just very difficult to watch the beautiful, caring, loving and vibrant woman, that I’ve known for 40+ years, deteriorate like this.
I hope I worded things properly, and didn’t leave anyone out, but again, I very much appreciate all of you for your kind words, thoughts, and prayers.
Thanks again, so much, to all of you.
