I had wonderful day with my dear friend. The day was just so beautiful the Fall weather is here with plenty of sunshine, blue skies and cool breezes. We decided to take a drive along the coast of the Jersey Shore to the Asbury Park Boardwalk home to the big guy himself Bruce Springsteen and the Stone Pony.
The homes along the coast are just magnificent they look like palaces overlooking the ocean, so it was a day of sightseeing too. We strolled up and down the boardwalk together. Had lunch at an outside café. First time in a long time she ate in front of me and at a restaurant because her partner has to feed her now, and she feels uncomfortable and embarrassed over it. I’ve told her million times I don’t care about any of her physical challenges makes no difference to me.
Speech is unrecognizable and her hands have noticeably weaken more. We played the spelling game using letters and then putting them in the sentence. It worked great ! as long as I was able to guess the correct letter, must say we were able to laugh thru it all.
Out of the blue she told me she said she needed my passport. When I thought I guessed wrong on the word passport when her partner informed me my best friend in the world is taking me to Aruba all expenses paid on her, and we are leaving in December just the three of us
Of course I am overwhelmed with emotion at her generous gift because I completely understand why she wants to do this. Will say this, I plan to make every moment of it count, and everyday there with her special as we ride out this journey together.
