The small leather bound volume is titled "My Daily Prayer Journal", but the pages are Blank, one of Jack's projects he never Started, Or so I thought. As I flipped through the book this morning I Discovered he had made some notations after all, The first way back in '89. But there were later entries, too, some he Added after we were married. By his handwriting I can see when his Dementia began to set in. One year before he died he mentioned my Name and by careful study I was able to Decipher his words: "I don't know what I would do w/o Dorothy. She is truly better than an angel. She is my angel and thank you, Lord for Dorothy-Bless her real good." His penmanship had disintegrated but his Mind was still functioning on November 7th, 2013. I'm glad Jack appreciated me. I'm glad he thought I was his angel. I'm glad he asked God to bless me. And I'm glad he tucked his tender thoughts inside This little red prayer book so I could Discover them today. |
