We have good days and we have bad days. Hope you will follow along....A TO Z!
The A to Z Challenge has come to an end.
It has been a zany, crazy blend.
Of things I do everyday to care for the man.
Who lives in my house.
Who still holds my hand.
He's zany and crazy most of the time.
I'm zapped of my strength.
I can no longer rhyme.
This challenge is over.
I hope it was fun.
I hope you learned something
About caring for 'one'.
For now I am zonked.
I will need to take a break.
But please come back and visit often
For Goodness sake.
Hi Paula .. I will - and you've certainly given us all food for thought as you've rhymed your way through the letters of the day ... not as big a challenge as you have looking after your zany man ... but I wish you a good time off from blogging - and hope you'll be back on occasions to give us more food for thought ... with many good wishes and all the best - Hilary

ReplyDeleteThank you Elaine....I know that you know the story
DeleteYou did well telling your story! It makes one think of the challenges of care giving and also what to maybe put in place before one comes to that part of their life if they find themselves there. I will definitely be back :)
