HARRIETT14's SparkPage


I am an 84 year young woman with a back that no surgeon wanted to touch because there are too many things wrong with it. So I am a crooked lady that never gives up. I thank God every day that I saw the write up in Woman's World magazine about Spark People back in August, 2011. It opened a whole new world for me.

I have been a Caregiver for the last three years to my husband who I try to encourage him to help himself in many different ways but I'm afraid he just has given up. ...

I have been a Caregiver for the last three years to my husband who I try to encourage him to help himself in many different ways but I'm afraid he just has given up. I find it very sad but there isn't anything that I say or do that has changed his mind. He is unable to walk by himself and falls a great deal. Matters have gotten worse and I'm sorry to say that he is in a home for two years. I see him every day. He is among people who has Alzheimer in different stages. It's heart breaking to see how he may be in the future.

    Harriett, thank you so much for your kind words on my friend feed. I was so touched, I felt a little teary-eyed.

    I hope you are doing well and that you have a wonderful Sunday!

    There's a big difference between bad jokes and dad jokes.
    It's the first letter.

    Classic Dadisms:

    Measure once, cut twice. Measure twice, cut once.

    Don't make me stop this car!

    If all your friends decided to jump off a bridge would you do it too?

    Shut the door! I know you weren't born in a barn!

    Righty tighty; lefty loosey.

    Your mother is right even when she's wrong.

    Go ask your mother.

    Do you think I'm made of money?

    You're going to like it, wheteher you like it or not.

    Don't speed!

    Don't forget to change the oil.

    And finally . . .

    Dear Dad,

    $chool i$ really great. I am making lot$ of friend$ and $tudying very hard. With all my $tuff, I $imply can't think of anything I need, $o if you would like, you can ju$t $end me a card, a$ I would love to hear from you.

    Love,
    Your $on


    Here's the father's reply to the above:

    Dear Son,

    I kNOw that astroNOmy, ecoNOmics, and oceaNOgraphy are eNOugh to keep even an hoNOr student busy. Do NOt forget that the pursuit of kNOwledge is a NOble task, and you can never study eNOugh.

    Dad

    Harriett, thank you so much for reading my blog about our adopted dogs. I really appreciate your kind comment. I'm glad you were blessed with your beloved Penny and that you have many good memories of her. I really think our pets live in our hearts forever. I have wonderful memories even of the ones from my childhood long ago.

    I hope you are doing well and haven't been too badly affected by these strange times we're living through. Take care and stay well.
