Researching Blogs/ stealing memories to print

  Auto of the day:

The 1941 4dr Chevy family car, is the first car I remember .

For today:

How do you feel about assisted living, Old folks homes, care giving or spending your last days at home?  Sherry & I have told our sons, when we cannot care for ourselves find us a good assisted living place and visit when you can, BUT live your lives….

Feeling sorry for myself I guess, I looked back over many Blogs I have followed.  This is from a retired Grey Hound driver.  This is a copy of his last entry before passing, Feb 2009.  He was over 88 yrs old. May he be at Peace now…

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2009

THANK YOU DEAR LORD FOR BEING WITH ME 24/7.
LYING THERE ON THE FLOOR, THINKING, AM I DREAMING ?
HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN? YES IT CAN AND DID.
IT WAS OCTOBER 2003.
BIG SHOCK WHEN LEARNED I COULD NOT WALK.
COULD NOT MOVE LEFT HAND OR FOOT.
THERAPISTS GOT ME TO MOVING. THEY SEEMED MEAN.
THEY ARE THERE TO HELP. TRY TO CO-OPERATE.
NOW, 1ST FEBRUARY, LIMITED WALKING WITH 'WALKER'.
DOCTOR'S EXAM SAID I AM ALIVE.
TWO DAUGHTERS LIVING HERE IN CANON CITY OVERCAME OPPOSITION FOR 'CARE CENTER' TO KEEP ME PERMANENTLY, NATURALLY WITH AN EYE ON MY INCOME WHICH WOULD NEED MY SIGNATURE.
DAUGHTERS RESEARCHED THE MEDICINES GIVEN ME, SOME QUESTIONABLE, FOR MENTALLY INCOMPETENT.
PLEASE UNDERSTAND, NOT KNOCKING CARE GIVERS, HOWEVER, WITH THE HELP OF A DOCTOR FRIEND, HAD ME RETURNED HOME FROM THE CARE CENTER WHERE I HAVE LIVED NEAR 7 YEARS WITH ELDERLY FRIENDS IN MY PRIVATE APARTMENT AND USING THIS COMPUTER AND CAMERAS,THRU THE WINDOW, COMMUNICATING WITH FRIENDS BY E-MAIL AND BLOGS.

 I remember missing his entries. He was older than I, but I was proud that he could write a blog even after the stroke.

Some people have someone close that can inform the internet friends of our passing. I remember a couple, but mostly we must guess or just wonder what has happened?

PS:

I Normally write tomorrow’s blog today and have it ready to post. Maybe I will write my final one and make a note for Sherry or a son to post it with a note  "Jack has left the building."

 He was a retired teacher, he posted from a 'Nursing home' and I cannot remember his blog name... His daughter did that for him, put an entry that "He had left the Building!"
