And now may the Lord bless you and keep you.

May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you.

And may God grant unto you His peace-in your going out and in your coming in,

In your lying down and in your rising up,

In your labor and in your leisure,

In your laughter and in your tears,

Until you come to stand before Jesus

In that day in which there is no sunset and no dawning.

Amen

First blog

Since January, 2008 I have been coping with my husband's diagnosis of Dementia. The Neurologist has not specified which of the many dementia's we are dealing with.

DH has short term memory losses, deep depression, and to a degree sundowner's syndrome. He is still in a state of denial and when evidence of his decline is shown to him he quickly forgets the incident. He is still driving. He still has control of his debit card. He still has control of his Internet access.

I, too, am dealing with depression. It has affected my work and my relationships with friends and co-workers.

This blog will be my outlet for frustration, joys and sorrows. I know that many others are dealing with what I am going through. I pray for all of them and ask in return that you pray for my DH and myself.

Thank you
