    Leah I am so happy for you, You have a wonderful man in your life too, I have many fond memories of the things Ray and I use to do even after he lost his legs, fishing and camping trips. Alzheimers has stolen so much from us but the one thing I am so thankful to God for is even though I have some short term memory loss from my auto accident I can remeber those truly special meoments he and I have shared over the years. Hearing you story makes me stop and thank God for the many wonderful memorys. For as much as I seem to complain here lately and I am truly sorry for that I was blessed with a wonderful husband like yours and as I have said before it will be ok as long as I can remeber the memories. I will always hold in my heart my love for him and it will see me through. Bravo Leah keep making memories. Your computer friend Connie
