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.

Happy Easter



I hope everyone has a wonderful Easter Sunday. Easter is one of my favorite days.Almost 20 years ago my son was born on Easter Sunday so that makes it very special to me. But he was also born on tax day April 15Th. I still don't care for tax day much. :)
It is going to be a pretty day . High 70's. Mom is still in bed . She is not asleep. In fact she has been awake all night. Talking her little head off. At least she does not try to run away anymore. It has been years since she has even tried to get out of bed. I do wish she could walk again but don't miss having to keep an eye on her 24/7.
My son stayed with friends last night which makes for a lonely Easter so far.
I love Easter service and did not get to go to one this year. I made it last year but not this one. I think it is my favorite service. Christmas is a close second.
I am excited about my son's birthday. I want to take him to supper and to a movie. Not sure when I will get to. He is busy and I have to get a sitter for mom. Of course it is still a few days away so I am sure we will find the time some where in the next two weeks.
Everyone have a Blessed Easter Sunday!!!

    What a wonderful Easter gift, to have a child on such a special day! (Too bad it was also April 15th, hahaha.)

    I'm sorry you could not get to Easter service this year; that is such an uplifting Sunday. I wish you peace in this Spring, some time to yourself, a night out with your birthday boy, and a little rest now and again!

    When my Mom stopped walking, I was very disturbed, but honestly in the end it is easier than being so vigilant and making sure they aren't wandering off or falling! At least you know where they are.

    Blessings to you, Karen, in this special season,
    Best ... Cass

    Your outlook is inspiring, I hope you enjoyed your Easter. Have you checked with hospice to see if they have any volunteer sitters so you could get out? We have them here, but I don't know if all communities do; they are a Godsend, even an hour break sometimes makes a world of difference.

    Your flowers look so pretty.
