Had a rough month, had a heart attack hit suddenly whilst on my own at the shops, still don't know how i made it to the Dr. Upshot was in hospital and had a stent put in, temporary measure, don't want by pass just yet Dr very understanding, but that where it all ends. My beloved hubby did not cope well and now will not let me out of his sight, he has finally given up work, which is a blessing and at the moment I am trying to create good memories for later, he is very forgetful now, and has trouble communicating, it is so sad as he has slipped so quickly, our hopes with the medical trail are all but gone now,and I live one day at a time, and pray for the strength to go on. My grandaughter asked me tonight why this has happened to her pop, and how come I am so strong, I did not tell her I cry most nights and grieve for what could have/would have been, instead I told her he just drew a short straw in life but that said we must be grateful for what pop and I have had, so many wonderful years, and an enduring friendship that helps to get me through this difficult gut wrenching time.
Life is a gift so precious we must embrace every moment and create memories for later to outwiegh the bad times ahead. God grant me the serenity...............
