There are 5.4 million people who have Alzheimer's. It cost 183 billion dollars in annual costs. Alz's is the 6th leading cause of death.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.
WE LOVE HIM BECAUSE HE FIRST LOVED US
1 John 4: 9-10

Mom and Dad Happy Times.

Thank You, Mom And Me Journals.

    Such candid talk and honesty. That is what I love about your blog. The other day my sister went to see my dad at the Nursing Home and nearly flipped out because his nose hairs and eyebrows were so long...

    Who cared? I mean, unless his family does no one notices a hair out of place.

    I always love my visits. They help me feel, well, not so alone.

    Love, Rebecca

    Hi Karen -

    It's been awhile since I've done much blog reading, though I've tried to keep up with my own a bit. What a delight to visit your blog tonight and then go see the wonderful post about your blog by Gail at momandmejournalsdotnet. It is a wonderful and ACCURATE description of your blog and your writing, and it has jolted me into reconnecting with your blog. It's been one of my favorites from the beginning of my time in blogdom, and I've simply gotten too busy to keep up. I'm back, and will also catch up on what's been going on with you and your mom over the last few weeks.

    I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.
