New Life


You know how I felt about my Oldie, Harry, who died in November.  He had a big personality.  He had a big life.  He was highly creative. I loved him.

You know that he and Haddy were were married for 67 years.  They were joined at the hip.  But Harry was the "go to" guy of the couple.  They had one of those "Me, Tarzan, you Jane" marriages.

Everybody thought when Harry died, Haddy would soon follow.


After all, at age 93 and with serious memory issues that aren't going to get better - what could she possibly have to live for?

Surprise!  Haddy is flourshing.  She's living in a lovely memory care center.  Despite her dementia she's made friends and is involved in the arts herself.

Among other things, she's painting.  This is Haddy's art work, not Harry's.   So bright and colorful!

And she's into music.

I told you recently that she won a prize for being the best dressed.  No surprise there.  But now the beauty is coming from the inside as well.

As Winston Churchill famously said, "Never, never, never, never give up."
