Keeps going and going...

Here we are...still...watching Grandpa...waiting for him to make his move...We've decided to change the cover of the funeral program from the angel Moroni to the Energizer Bunny. We feel OK laughing about it because, thankfully, he appears to be comfortable and at peace. For some reason he needs to be here on earth a little longer. And we are willing to wait for as long as it takes. In the meantime we are enjoying being near him and reading his journals. I've been reading some entries from his missionary journal. He wrote in this journal throughout five of his six missions. It's amazing the vision he had. He was excited about the work. He loved being in the service of God wherever he was sent. He gave all he could. He was a husband, father, grandfather, and missionary.

I have also become a member of this Alzheimer's community. It is fun to interact with the other residents. This is a pretty happy place to be considering the situation these people are in. The staff here do their best to keep the residents happy and comfortable. They are doing their best to keep us comfortable as well. I recommend Alta Ridge Assisted Living. Who knows I might even decide to move in here. If Grandpa decides to stick around for a while he and I can be roommates. And he might. The nurse said that his heart and vitals are strong. I am amazed at the capabilities of the human body and it's desire to survive. His heart is going to keep the rest of him alive.
