Selfish Goals. They’re OK.

I spend a lot of my energy trying to help my sweetie find joy. I often convince myself that it is to make his life as good as possible. That is not a lie. But I realize, especially when I see little things like this cartoon, that I’m really trying to make small memories for myself. Every time I think I have a handle on my grief, I see something like this and I understand that this living grief is still only the beginning.

I am Snad. It has been my nickname since I was about 8 years old. I've had dozens of jobs in my life, but the one I have now is caretaker for my husband, who has Lewy Body Dementia with Atypical Parkinsonism. It sucks. It isn't fair. But that's life. We are walking the road together, stumbling along, hand in hand.
