DW is moving into MC care today. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers for a peaceful transition. I will post more on our journey at another time.

    Best of luck. For me (and DH) it was uneventful (and remains so.). He was progressed enough that the move meant nothing to him. He no longer knew family members or home. He is there; I am here. 17 months and I miss him every day. But does he miss me? There is nothing easy about this disease. I wish you well.

    Colt, I wish an easy move for both of you. Hopefully she (and you) will adjust quickly.

    Peace 🙏

    May your journey into this new arrangement be smooth. Change is difficult, but you’ll be able to catch your breath and always care and love her. Somethings don’t change.
