My husband has a great sense of humour which is one of the main reasons I married him. He is also more forgiving than I am at times, which is another quality I love about him - especially now when I have been procrastinating about laundry.
One of my favourite things is waking up early together and lying in bed talking while our pussy cats snooze away.
He cracked me up this morning by asking if I was trying to gather enough coins to do the laundry:did I not realize it didn't require coins? Yup I got his message and also a good laugh. Great way to start the day!
He was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1999, only 4 years after we married. It was a major shock, like Michael J. Fox, he only had a minor twitch in his left hand. He told me he was afraid to tell me as he thought I would leave him. NOT!!!
Last year we were in Puerto Vallarta in January. We meet up with friends from CA each year. This year we can't go as his Parkinson's disease has made his ability to walk so difficult he would really be struggling on cobblestones and sand. His sense of ha ha is getting us thru the trying times that PD throws at the people it affects - the sufferers and the caregivers. He has a great attitude and is off today volunteering at Habitat Re-store.
I have grown to recognize he is my best friend and we have fun wherever we are. We will miss this years jaunt to PV and our friends; however the laughs will continue on the Sunshine Coast of BC.
―Dave Meurer MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
