It’s Thanksgiving, that Thursday in November we’ve designated as a day on which to be grateful.
I am. I still have my Burt.
His challenges come with heaps of love and appreciation. That’s to say he is grateful. He frequently thanks me for everything I do for him. He doesn’t forget to be appreciative of his aide as well.
The other night, he made a video in which he thanked his OT for her services.
I am grateful for all the gratitude he shows. Even when it feels like he’s gone overboard.
Since he has Lewy Body and not Alzheimer’s Dementia, he remembers unexpected moments. He has thanked some friends and neighbors over and over, repeatedly for favors large and small.
It’s an embarrassment of gratitude, and some of those he thanks are embarrassed.
I think it’s sweet.
