May God in his infinite wisdom, bless you, keep you and grant you peace. And thank you for the goodness and caring of all the caregivers on this forum. It gives me refuge and hope.

Thanks, Moni. That reminds me of a poem I learned as a youngster, I couldn't remember the author so I googled and found it. A PLEA FOR A SINNER Dear Mr. God, please listen, Since I had to give him up, Please take good care of Tippy, Sir � He's such a little pup. Mother says You called to him And he just had to go, I wonder if he misses me, 'Cause, gee, I miss him so. I know You'll treat him awful nice. But he's really lots of care, And if it's rainy out-of-doors, He'll track mud everywhere. He'll sure get into everything, If You leave him just a crack. But, Mr. God, if he bothers You, I'd be glad to have him back! � Peter Reed It is a sad day when we have to be careful about mentioning God, in order not to "offend" some one.. Sue

Wow, that's lovely. Thanks for sharing!

Faron - I think I told you once that DH bought a 1964 1/2 Mustang convertible - black with red interior. He loved his baby - until our eldest son turned 16 - then he sold for something with safety features. That was in 1990 and we sold it in 1998. Then one day he went into the Chevy dealership to pick up my Suburban from the service department. Sitting in the showroom was a 2003 Anniversary Edition Corvette - he was smitten. I've never seen him so excited about a car before. Two days later he traded in his Tahoe and drove out in his shiny new Vette. We thoroughly enjoyed it- took several road trips, visited our son in Vermont in October with the roof down, the heater on and a heated blanket on my lap. Unfortunately 3 months later a driver ran a red light and hit him in the engine compartment and spun him around the intersection. Total loss. He was lucky he wasn't killed. That was his last toy. He now drives a really safe sedan. But this was his dream car - all 3 months of it. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/2003-chevrolet-corvette-50th-anniversary-special-edition-feature
