A New Chapter
My wife of 44 years moves into a long term care facility tomorrow. She can no longer speak, nor do anything for herself, so there isn't an alternative, but what an experience. Some of you will remember my aborted move to Europe in February to be closer to my Italian daughter and family. We've been living in a very nice area where I could take Josie for walks in a wild ravine, right here in downtown Toronto, and enjoy what this wonderful town has to offer. Notwithstanding, she'll be only 15 mintutes away by subway and life goes on. Thankfully I've got friends and a nice hobby. She has what is known as fronto temperal dementia, which has been coming on for a number of years, but really moved fast the past 2 years. She remains a sweet girl with a ready smile and loves to do bear hugs with our friends. My avatar is a drawing she made early in the year. A koala bear.
