Yep! I saw one of those shows....
Thanks for info on the documentary, “The Wrecking Crew”. I will see if they have it on Netflix.
Bookmarked.
“During one phase, Dad saw it as his special mission to keep their small pool free of the magnolia leaves that would blow down from an overhanging tree. His agents, sweetly patient, would keep enough windfall on hand to ensure a steady supply for him to pluck from the water.”
— Ron Reagan about his father. Amazing how the Secret Service thought it their duty to make him happy. That was respect earned.
I can’t watch it, not allowed to cry right now (just had brain surgery).
Two of the best people in my world have Alzheimer’s, my parents. Sad as hell. And yet still they are a joy and they still love and enjoy something every day.
It is my hope that Glenn Campbell and his effort to get us all used to Alzheimers and to treat people with it better will be a huge success. Alzheimers is in your family or coming to it soon.
Gd bless him for using his fame to remove the shame and stigma of this disease, which is not the patients’ fault and nothing to be ashamed of. Treat anyone with Alzheimer’s the same as you would a young person with developmental differences: still use humor, be warm, be caring. And get help.
If you are alone caring for someone, get help online and in RL, people to sit with your loved one so you get out regularly. And if you know someone who is a caregiver, please give them some breaks.
Bookmarked for the wife later.
Thanks for posting.
I was just going to say, this is Glen’s “Hurt.”
And Glen also played for Jimmy Rogers in his early years.
Glen tried, unsuccessfully, to teach Jimmy how to play chords on his guitar.
Yeah wow, just brutally honest lyrics but I don’t know, it just seems strange, like he is ignoring the spirit aspect of a person. He should have wrote I won’t miss you when my mind is gone but I will love you forever when I’m gone might have been a better way to put it. It’s just a weird song that’s all I’m saying, like someone who has lung cancer singing “I can’t breathe”.

Dear PaForBush,
I will ask in prayer for you, your dad, and your family, the comforts, consolations and graces of our Heavenly Father through our Lord Jesus Christ in union with the Holy Spirit. Amen.
May God bless and keep you.
A delight from Delight, AR, and I checked; it’s in Pike County in the southwestern portion of the state.
I would just bet she is, adorno, and is joyfully in her prime. God bless your loving family.
Such beautiful souls on this thread. That’s also what makes me cry. Speedy recovery to you, Yaelle. I hope you have a good cry, soon, and God’s blessings!
One of Glenn’s early records (Wichita Lineman) was in the very short stack of albums my parents had in our house. Therefore, I knew his album very well. I kind of missed it a few years ago, and bought the CD version. The songs are so great, not like the bullcrap that is often sold as music in the last few decades. I also bought his “20 greatest hits” CD.
