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

Further evidence

Today DH is going to handle MIL financial activities. Even three months ago this would not have been possible. In the future it may become impossible. However, right now DH is clear headed and able to process thoughts well.

Having been through his severe illness in October and the months leading up to it I have a very clear picture of what dementia will bring in our future. I have already walked the walk of declining mental capacity. Now that we are back at the beginning again (he was diagnosed in January, 2008) and walking the true path I can see little signs that I might not have seen before. The symptoms are very mild and infrequent. Maybe one per day. What a blessing I have been given. I have my husband back.

Please continue to pray for all dementia patients.
