My husband had Alzheimer's. Those days were not so hard if I looked on the bright side. He was in the last stages of the disease. But i always smiled. Eddie made me smile.

June 9, 2006 – I wrote a poem today

How Can It Be?

I really am happy
How can it be?
A husband with Alzheimer’s
Yet I am content
How can it be?
Because of God!
He turns things
Into good
Only believe!
Only trust!
How can it be?
That I should see
The good things
That looks so bad?
Because God’s light
Shines in darkness
And makes all
Things bright
When I should be
So sad
Thank you Lord
For showing me
The light

This day is a good day because God said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.
I am sitting her listening to a CD and a song called “Glory Gold”. I feel God’s glory in this room.
Eddie just walked in, and said ‘I feel like I am on fire! God is coming! He’s going to help us. You know why? Cause we are under His hand!”
Then we both sat there with our hands raised up and Eddie said,
“The people are going home. We’re on our way home!”
Oh Lord!
Then I wrote “What I feel is …the world…it’s good!”
Good times.
