Guest Post by Nettie Clarke

In this life I have had many wonderful pets and have learned many spiritual lessons from them. At present, I have four little birds. Only one did I raise from a tiny thumb-sized baby.

October 2024 was my 19th wedding anniversary. Eight anniversaries have come and gone since my spouse was able to celebrate it with me.  Alzheimer’s changed our lives. This year was the first time since he was diagnosed with the disease that I decided to mark the occasion by dining out.
