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.

    I haven't watched the video yet, but I will. The written article is very interesting. Yes, each person with Alzheimer's is so different!
    Hope you're having a good weekend!

    Hello Karen,

    Thank you so much for your prayers and leaving a comment. I often wonder if the tears will ever be all cried out. I am so heartbroken over my husband's illness and the tears flow so easily. It will be 4 years Nov. 1 since his diagnosis. I don't often speak of it on my blog or in emails. Life goes on and I try to find the good in each day but it overwhelms me sometimes. I read thru some of your posts, with the stopped up kitchen sink. My brother comes to help me with things. Without him, I don't know what I would do. I am blessed. Sorry for the long comment. I will be a regular reader now that I have found your blog. Rest well and God bless!
