The Sweetest Dr. Office Visit Ever

"If I did anything right in my life it is when I gave my heart to you."

As I was perusing through old posts on our personal blog, I ran across a post that made me smile AND cry.  It has been 7 years ago today that my husband passed away.  I thought this was an appropriate post to bring back:

* * * * *
March 26, 2006:
Today we had our first consultation with Max's new primary care physician, Dr. Peter Rutherford. Our other doctor retired at the end of last year, so we were left to find a new one. We solicited the help of a doctor client/friend, who is on mission in Brazil, to get us a referral to one of the best and most popular doctors in the Wenatchee Valley Clinic. The nurses, and others in the know, are shocked we were able to get into this doctor because he has a 1 1/2 - 2 year waiting list for taking new patients.

Anyway, we talked about Max's Parkinson's and his meds and I wanted to discuss his memory issues. The doctor ran Max through a series of questions, including what day and month it is, spell some words, draw a clock face... AND then he asked him to write one sentence on a piece of paper. Can you guess what Max's one single sentence was? "I love Carol". How sweet is that?

Tough to top that, so will sign off for tonight.

I sure do miss my husband but am so grateful for the time we had together and the sweet memories.

Carol, your post made me tear up. It really doesn't get sweeter or more genuine than that. I hope your memories of your time with your husband bring you a little bit of comfort.

Carol- my heart ached just reading this. We had a dear friend who had Parkinson's and he passed away a few years ago. As you and others have said, you are very blessed to have had the love you did.
