There are going to be times when you remember and will miss him big time. It's amazing how when we care for each other often times it's not a burden, work? yes, time consuming? yes but not a burden. Blessings to you all as you discover a new part of life and share the memories.

Been a busy couple of weeks. Jeff is now in a local care facility. Pretty much a nursing home. His condition is such that we can't care for him at home anymore. He doesn't seem to mind, and might even like it. It's a decent place and I think he likes the idea of having 3 meals a day served to him. It was a bit of a hassle to get him enrolled onto Medicaid to get the cost of care covered, but we got it done. I actually got 6 letters in the mail on the same day. 2 told me that his Medicaid application had been denied, 2 saying that he'd been approved, and 2 telling me that his SS Disability amount had been reduced, as the amount was now to be paid to the care facility. I stopped at the facility and spoke with the business manager who said she had just gotten an e-mail from the State saying that Jeff had been approved. He seems in good spirits as he begins this next chapter in his life. I never thought him to be much of a burden when Lisa and I cared for him at home, but now that he's gone I realize just how much effort went into his care. Kinda sad, but after 20+ years as his caretaker, it's a weight off my chest.....sigh....
