Who's listening?

My daily life with dementia has been a challenge but in an effort to be more positive, I will try not to complain about Dave.  When I go to a support group, I hear their daily woes.  They seem to be in the beginning stages of living with someone with dementia.  I have been there and moved on.   It is almost like a grieving process to finally reach the acceptance stage.  Each day is a blessing.  The other day, as Dave slept in front of the TV, I was trying to recall an actor's name.  Out of the blue, Dave said, "Dan Akroyd."  It just amazes me how much Dave is listening, even with his eyes closed. 
I shall enjoy a beautiful summer day, no rain just now and be glad.
