Gratitude Tuesday

My Photo

As some of you may know, my DH has health issues. Most days lately, he has very bad days--many seizures and headaches. He has to be watched all of the time. Sometimes I have to walk him to bed and help put his pjs on.   I have to help him to the bathroom.  He sleeps 16-18 hours on most days.  Well, every now and again he will have a few hours that are seizure free and headache free.  Last night was one of these good periods of time.  We went to dinner--Applebees happy hour-half price appies! I got a glimpse of how he used to be. I got to feel like I was a part of a team again not a caregiver with a dependent. I had a taste of our old life again and I want that back. Oh, how I want my old life back-My Husband back. I want it but I am so grateful to have had a couple of hours of the old Tom. My Tom.  Just a glimpse, but is was wonderful!

Blessings,
Lisa
