Yes, this is Valentine's Day, 2008! Yesterday marked four years since my dear husband, Ed, left to go home to Glory. He must be having a wonderful time! Meanwhile, we miss him-not just his presence, but also who he was and how he helped all of us with our problems from day to day.
I am doing well. Life seems to be more and more normal, with the exception of having a trach and a feeding tube. But i can live with them, and I am so thankful for all the things I do have: my mind is pretty much in tact-although I'm somewhat forgetful and mix up dates occasionally-I can see, I can hear with my hearing aids, I can walk by myself, I can type on the computer, and many more things that are right. So, I am content and know that God has given me a life to live. I'm doing the best I can. I'm working on a second book-this one will be MY journey with health and all the many people and circumstances I came in contact with-especially at the University of Chicago.
I have had many kind reviews of my book, Do Not Go, My Love: An Odyssey of Eight Years with Stroke and Dementia. It is available. Just write or e-mail Warren Anderson Judson University 1151 N. State St. Elgin, IL 60123 or wanderson@judsonu.edu. Amazon.com lists it as unavailable, but I know of several people who have bought it from them. I think you have to by-pass the written information and just order the book.
A wonderful verse that I am memorizing is Job 9:10. I feel that I have had miracles in my life, so this verse is very appropriate for me.
