Happy I can still find things that make me laugh

My husband lost his phone this morning and wanted help finding it. I was in a different room so I told him I’d call it so he could follow the sound. After calling several times with no answer I went looking for him. He was in his bathroom on his hands and knees looking behind the toilet. When I called again I could tell he had it in his pocket. Every time it had rung he’d turn around to look for it.
I didn’t laugh until I’d left his room but could just imagine him turning in circles.
He isn’t yet “hiding” things just loses things all day long.

    Yes you sometimes have to find some humor amongst the tough times. I usually help my DW with picking out what to wear and helping her get dressed. This one time my DW insisted that she could do it herself so I said go ahead that would be great. Here is what she picked out. 😂😂

    Such a strange disease. The oddities can be very funny at times. I wish all you caregivers well.
