Caruanas Comments 7-15-14 ...Monday I stayed home because most of Ruths awake time would be taken up in getting a permanent in the Beauty Salon. Also housework was begging to be done. ...Today when I saw her I observed two things. 1. How nice her hair looked & 2. How fast she is succumbing to the Big A. She is looking thin and haggard and today wasnt even able to communicated with gestures. ...How-some-ever, I went through my visiting routine as usual. She enjoyed a selection of chocolate truffles and when I took her to the hydration station she sipped the lemon aid with gusto. ...On our hall crawl we spotted Lucy, the cat, waddling down the hall. She looked like a giant fuzz ball on wheels. No kidding, her tummy reaches to her ankles! She did something a cat has never done for me. [It is said that the difference between cats and dogs is that if you call a dog he will come to you but if you call a cat she will take a message and get back to you at her convenience.] I called her and she came right up to me and allowed me to give her the petting she no doubt thought she deserved. ...When I kissed Ruth and told her that I loved her she opened her eyes and they had a blank look. Not quizzical, not questioning just blank and uncomprehending. ...Tomorrow is another day and I am leaning on the promise As thy days, so shall thy strength be for both Ruth and for me.
