My last birthday card from June was undelivered and unsigned - another casualty of Alzheimer's.

June loved cards and whenever a card shop was nearby, June would soon be browsing it. While the cover would first attract her attention, it was the inside words or verse that determined if she would make it hers.

I found this last birthday card in 2005, shortly after June left our home to live in a nursing home. It was mixed in with a pile of other new but miscelaneous cards of  Junes. I assume that it dated around 2003-2004.

Being the sentimental old fool that I am, the beauty of the words caught my breath - how could I have been so richly blessed as to have June and her love for a lifetime....
