The Notebook....

Has anyone seen the movie "The Notebook" - it is one of my favorite movies. Yes it is a chick flick - it is about a woman who has to choose between two men - one she loves with her heart and one she loves but it's more because she knows he will take care of her. So she chooses the one with her heart - and they live a very happy and fulfilled life until she gets Alzheimer's and he is there every step of the way, he doesn't leave her side for one minute and he always has hope that one day she will remember him. He is there that day that she does, and then when she passes away he has such a broken heart because he has lost his soulmate that he passes away too.

It is just an amazing testimony to how much one person can love another person. Do you have that in your life - do you have such a deep love that your heart would be completely broken and you would be completely lost without that person that you would just rather not go on living. Can you say today that you are married to your soulmate?

Is it best to choose with your conscious with what you know is the right thing to do, or do you follow your heart?

Just questions in life again.

Dad isn't doing well - he has been very sick since Thursday night so I guess the chemo is working since he got a full dose. But he has been sleeping alot and just feeling blah, blah, blah. I do know that Deacon from Knights of Columbus came up yesterday to see him. So that was good. I am not sure if he will be in church tonight or not. And he wasn't able to make it on the "Senior Trip" because he felt so bad. :(

Hopefully he had a good day today. But the weather makes it kind of nice just to lay in bed and do nothing all day!

Much love to all,

  1. Dear Bill and Cookie
    We had a good time on our Senior Break trip, however it absolutely was not the same without you. We missed you.
    Sounds like that "double dose" of chemo was rough, but it must be doing a number on the cancer cells.
    I read a book recently in which the author said that resting the body helped her in the healing process. Sounds right to me.
    I hope you feel better in a few days.
    Love
    Rita
