Helen

I've been wondering what I could blog about lately other than how sad Pats disease is and how everyday is different.  You have your good days as well as the difficult days and oftentimes it's good and difficult all in the same day!  I debated on whether to continue our Easter tradition at Cherry Grove because it's just easier to stay home these days.  But after encouragement from my friends and family... I thought "what the heck... We can give it a shot".  And I'm so glad we did.  We're  staying the night with our friends Ricky and Diane and BELL ( doggie) and I have missed them and didn't realize how much!!  Its obvious Pat has too!  Did I mention my kids are with us so that makes it even more special.???? .. Anyway... We were sitting around the table enjoying a great dinner and everyone talking and reminiscing. FYI. Pat's  disease has affected his speech to the point that he's unable to really join in the conversation but he still enjoys the fellowship.  Well. We were having trouble remembering a friend's name and we kept saying... Helen???.... Helen...... Helen........... Trying to get her last name to come to us when someone yelled...KELLER!  Yep it was Pat!  I just had to share.  Happy Easter everyone!
