Lunch with Jane! I wanted to see her before I left for Paris so I swapped days with my Dad. The temps are finally cooling here in Phoenix but Jane was noticeably walking slower today. Perhaps just a bad day? Or maybe the disease is simply progressing – it’s so hard to tell. She asked a lot about my dad today & when I said he would be by tomorrow she smiled & said thank you. One thing the disease has not taken from Jane are her manners – she is always so gracious.

I told Jane about Bear’s running adventures with me. She likes that & agrees with me my Dad should run Bear while I am gone. Enzo spent the night with my brother & sister in law & I showed Jane the picture of how Enzo took Marianne’s spot in bed. Jane thought that was funny – sorry Marianne.

I hate watching the disease progress but I am always grateful for the time I get with Jane.
