Guess the Lord Must be in New York City

This song was playing yesterday on Valerie's Ipod.

I was sitting next to her singing along and she started smiling and her facial expression showed that she knew the song and was happy that I was singing to her. It was a priceless moment.

We spent so much time when we were first dating in the city. From the top of the Empire State Building, to central park, downtown, little italy, and the village... where we fell in love. I could write a book on those times.

Those memories are still in her and in me. What I'm thankful for today, is that moment yesterday, and all my years being married to my best friend.

It's wonderful to be where you always wanted to be....

Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City

Guy?

Out of nowhere sometimes it happens....


I was taking out the laundry basket to pull the clothes out of the dryer, and  as I walked past Valerie she said,

"Guy?"

Last night as I was sitting next to her she looked right at me, and with a definite expression on her face of recognition, she looked at me and said "Hi!". As if she had not seen me in long time.

Her ability to speak over the past two years has diminished so much that she barely says yes or mostly no. To hear her call out my name astonishes me.

It feels good to realize that she still "knows" who I am.  It's these small miracles that really surprise me.
