Good man. We all make mistakes, some more serious than others. But this man did his time and paid his dues. He deserves a fresh start.
They definitely have feelings and can read ours too! Reminds me of this one time I was having a heated argument with my parents, involving screaming back and forth. There was a coffee table in between us. My cat who was sleeping in a different room walked in, got on the coffee table and started crying/screaming loudly while looking at me. She’s never been that loud and she definitely has never done something like that before. Her screams were so effective that we actually stopped arguing and ended up totally distracted discussing her unusual behaviour. I’m not sure if she was “saving” me thinking I was in trouble or saving my parents but it sure did work!
I honestly believe most children need a pet. It teaches them so much, and not just about things like responsibility, but about unconditional love.
I have short term, sometimes i cant remember my husband, but i always know i love that man, cause when the mind does't remember, the heart will
I had a similar experience the last time I visited my grandmother in a nursing home. Her face absolutely lit up when she saw me. Her nurse asked, "Do you know who this is?" She replied, "No." But the huge smile stayed. She wasn't sure who I was, but she was positive that she was happy to see me.
this just shows how love transcends even memory you might forget a person but wont forget how they make you feel
in the early 80s, i was a very young teen. my uncle, dad's sister's husband, was a rhodes scholar and a famous shakespearen scholar in his youth. during this time, he was in his 80s with alzheimers. remember visiting him in his care home with his wife and my mom. he would look up at her with so much joy but could not talk. his expression was, "i know you but i don't know you. all i know is that you bring me joy and love when i see you." so sad to see a mind like that wither away.
Oh gosh... I need a bottle of water handy to rehydrate... This.... I swear I'm not crying!
My maternal Grandma lived to be 101...at her 100th birthday celebration, we sat together for the meal & cake.. As we chatted, she asked my name & how we knew each other...She politely acknowledged that she didn't remember my name, but said, "But, I do know that I love you" --- One of my most treasured memories of her. As a career nurse, with many of my years working memory care, this was a treasure...because I'd always encouraged families to rest assured, that their loved ones DO remember...just not always in the ways we'd expect.
My SIL's mother had Alzheimer's disease. She lost a lot of her memory for people, but, when asked who visited her, she'd always say, "S/he's family." It was always enough.
💔💔💔💔💔💔 I've had so many relatives with dementia and Alzheimer's, this would kill me every time.
Wakanda Forever, and GNU Chadwick. A man is never truly dead so long as his name is spoken.
Not to sound morbid, but I hope I just seize up one day while I still have my wits, freedom, and mobility.
When i had a Dane we got a wee hound pupper. Loki would carry it around in his mouth. I never thought i'd have to learn the command, "Loki, spit the puppy out!"
So many duplicate stories, even one triplicate! Still stamping BP logo on the unknowing "contributions" of other posters I see...
I've actually not seen a few of these on BP before - you guys are doing great work considering that you are now trying to charge people for this. And the duplicates at the end? Just another reason I would LOVE to pay for an account on BP.
There is a line from a country song: "if all you go by is the evening news, your faith in all mankind would be the first thing you lose." Daily we are bombarded by bad news, acts of extreme violence; growth in the rate of poverty, etc. We are told our country (USA) is hopeless divided and hate is on the rise. I've spent over 30 years working with victims of abuse and trauma. I long, long ago removed my rose-colored glasses. Yet, I still believe most people are good and that given the opportunity, most of us will react with kindness and fairness. Seeing the good and not always the bad can empower all of us to act from a place of love and acceptance.
If only there were new pieces of good. This makes it seem like we have only 50 good things to recycle for years.
Load More Replies...Most of these are so old - too old. I know some people may not have seen them before but most of us have, many times.
I had to stop reading these were all so old. Bored panda has access to an entire internet and all they can do is recycle their same old material?
To those complaints about duplicate BP posts? I've not seen this one before and please keep in mind that new members join all the time so they probably have never seen them either.
