This blog is a journal as a caregiver to my brain-injured husband, as well as being occasional caregiver to my four beautiful grandchildren. It is a journey that many people take, and my hope is that it will help others in understanding what a brain-injury is all about and how to keep motivation and spirits up.

Window to the Soul
The saying "eyes are the window to the soul" is so very true. I believe you can see so much through a person's eyes. My husband's eyes tell me so much. I can see the "sparkle" in his eyes occasionally. When I see that, it is so heartwarming. I can also see his pain through his eyes. I know his spirit and soul are OK because I can see that through his eyes. Since he cannot communicate because of his brain injury, there are times when he reacts so appropriately to things around him. Our 3 year old grandson was misbehaving the other day and my husband got upset and told him that "you are being a bad boy". My heart leaps for joy when this happens (and it is very rare and sometimes months before this happens) and it gives me a certain peace that his soul and spirit are intact and well.
