Give me a break

Well we finally got the help we need for someone to come in and help clean and cook to give me a break.  After helping Craig out 24/7 for several months it started to become too much on me and I am glad we got that help.  So Fatuma (that's her name) will come in the morning and do some cleaning and some cooking.  We'll see how it goes.

Only problem is that if Craig falls to the floor and I'm not here, she will not be able to have the strength to pick him up from the floor which will give him no other choice but to press the emergency button for someone to come over to help him out.

7 years

So this is our anniversary the day that I left Arizona to move to Vancouver Washington to be with Craig.  With everything that has been going on between happy times and hard times I still stayed close to him and always worry about him wondering what is going to happen.

We really didn't do anything for our anniversary but just relaxed and spend time together at home.  I guess it was a surprise that he chose yesterday to propose to me rather than today.  I guess that was an early time to celebrate together.

Proposed

This morning I put on Itunes and got Craig's Breakfast ready for him to eat.  He had me put on a specific song by The Carpenters - I Won't last a day without you.  He held my hands and told me that he wanted to go on his knee but he can't due to his leg not working properly like it used to. I actually may have him go on his knee again in another date so he could be able to do it again.  We'll see.

So anyways, he started crying, filled with emotion that if I would do the honor to be his Brian Sowle-ODoherty on December 8th which was his birthday.

I think he was thinking about the hard times he has been going through and each time I stuck by him rather than listening to my mother to leave him and move to Ireland, which I wasn't going to do.  I could never do that to anybody.
