We went out to dinner. Simple cafe, nice lighting, good food. I had an amazing glass of wine (only one as we had strolled and I had to push the wheelchair home). We chatted. Well mostly me with him nodding But that's how it always is. Just about this and that, and who and what. And I looked around the room and thought," we look just like any other couple out for a bite on a saturday evening". Or I'd like to think so.
And I was able to not think about how it used to be or would become, and just for a little while I felt at peace and like everything would be ok... And then I pushed him into the bushes on the way home as the very generous pour on the wine had gone right to my head

Hey, Goldcap! It's good to hear from you. It's been a long time since you've posted, and it's a nice one. It made me smile. I hope those bushes weren't thorny. Anyway, it's those pleasant moments that carry us through. Trying to store up the positive energy while letting the stress go is the challenge for me. This is the last day of my week of vacation, and it's been very much one good day followed by one hard one. Lots to hold onto! I hope to hear more from you. Love, Easterncedar
Goldcap glad you had a lovely time, miss going out for dinner, and meeting up with friends, this horrible illness has taken it all away. Glad you enjoyed your wine, I bet you both saw the funny side of going into the bushes. Have a lovely Sunday. Yvonne xxxxxxx
Hi, I have often wondered if you can drunk in charge of a wheelchair. Your story reminds of a time last year. We were camping with my sister and her husband. We took the wheelchair, as it was a very steep hill to climb back to the camp site from the restaurant. We managed that fine, it was getting him out of the chair, to walk across the field, that we tipped him out into the bushes with a "slight" drop below them! Thankfully, the bushes caught him, no real damage, just a couple of scratches!!! We still have a giggle about it now!!!
hahaha can you imagine a passerby seeing these people pushing this man ...maybe over the cliff....? The horror...hahaha another one for the book and or calendar!
