Saturday May 1st

Yesterday was possibly the most difficult day of our lives together. Dave was very agitated but not able to tell me what he wanted.....I am not sure I could have endured had it not been for Kip, who sat with Dave when I just didn't think I could do it anymore. Kip helped me with things that no friend should have to do...and he did it with grace and dignity. Love is a powerful thing...and I witnessed it again today as Dave Warn lifted Dave from bed to bed so gently.....and sat with him so that I could have some time with family.
Hospice came out Friday afternoon and they have switched Dave to liquid meds that he can swallow. He is just not able to swallow pills or capsules anymore. The nurse walked thru the rest of this journey with me. My heart aches as I try to absorb it all. Chris and Cayte have been such a blessing and they have helped me stay strong.
I have decided that we are not going to allow anymore visitors. Anyone who wishes is more than welcome to come to the house, but Dave will not be receiving visitors. He is such a beautiful man and he deserves the dignity that he has maintained throughout his life now more than ever.
Thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. Each day is a gift, and as long as I can walk into the room and see Dave there it is a good day for me.
Blessings to all.......
