and then there was one........
my heart is breaking and crying right now. i have just witnessed 54 years of together shattered by death and seen how it breaks a grown man to tears. i'm sittin here on the comp, listenin to music (2 yrs to eternity) and i hear sirens close. i look out my window and see police car and fire truck stop in front of my neighbors' house. he's an elderly man whose wife passed away in her sleep last night. god rest her soul and finally give her peace from a mind completely taken by alzheimer's. RIP Margeret A. Middleton.
This couple has lived in this neighborhood for over 30 years. when we moved into this house while i was still pregnant with alanna, middleton (ret. 1sgt clarence i.) came over and introduced himself. he offered to call his son if we needed help moving furniture in and offered to cook for us if we didnt have a stove in the house yet. beautiful people. she was already pretty bad off with alzheimer's back then. she would come out and talk about how i needed to take care of myself when the baby was born. then it got to where she would only come outside while she was letting her dog out and when middleton was taking her out to eat. over the past few months, i havent seen her at all. knew she was gettin bad cause middleton has been over a few times asking derek to weedeat the lawn for him. my heart goes out to him ...... 54 years....that's such a long time. the only comfort i'm sure his family has is knowing that she's well and not trapped in a sick body anymore. derek used to work with their daughter at walmart. my heart broke seeing the unshed tears in her eyes. i asked her to let me know if i could do anything for them. the hug she gave me back was one i cant explain. i pray god give her strength in this difficult time while she helps her father.
just felt the need to tell everyone i love you guys.....
