Jerome never drank water. He would take his pills with milk. Always drank milk with everything. I told him he needs water and that I would call him every day and we would have a glass of water together to get him to drink it, and I did and he loved it and so did I. He even started having 3, 4 glasses, and sometimes even more throughout the day waiting for my call!! For around 15 years we did that. We would miss some days of talking and drinking our water, like when we were visiting with someone. We really got to know each other and drew close to each other. This is how our conversation started out each time.
Jerome: Hello?
Me: Are you ready?
Jerome: Yes I am, are you ready?
Me: Yes I am. Just a minute, just a minute, just a minute. (taking a drink of water, then afterwards saying) Ahhhhhhh! Daaaare! (Like how a toddler would say, "there"...daaare. And how after a little kid goes Ahhhh after drinking a lot of water)
Jerome: Ahhhhhh.
Me: So, what did you do today?
Then we would talk about what we did that day and this and that.
Then when we were done, this is how it went because sometimes we wouldn't finish the whole glass of water.
Me: Well, I'm done are you?
Jerome: Yep. You have yourself a good evening.
Me: You too and drink your water
Jerome: I will and you drink yours too.
Me: I will. Love you.
Jerome: I love you too!
Me: Bye
Jerome: See ya!
I'm so thirsty now!!!!
I miss him but am so happy for him! Think about it....HE IS WITH JESUS NOW!!!
