February 10

I arrive at Judy's room just before noon.  Judy is partially awake.  She finds the strength to sit up on the side of her bed.  I hugged her then held both her hands.  Judy says, "I need to have a conversation with you, but I don't know what to say."  She starts to cry.
I say, "You know I love you, don't you?"
Judy replies, "You know I love you too."
I replied, "Then that's all that needs to be said."

Judy did not make it out of bed today.  She is very tired and frustrated with being in a confused state.  Her appetite is waning as well.  Her consumption today was the cream cheese of the Tim Horton's bagel she requested.  She did not eat lunch or supper.  Another frustration for Judy is her lack of fine motor control.  She is not able to take oral medications without assistance.  When we visited Judy later in the evening, she was more coherent mainly because she had a long sleep between 2:30 pm and 7:00 pm.  Even in her most confused state, she is still as regal and beautiful as ever.  No complaints.  No self-pity.  Always putting others first.  God Bless the Queen.
