Hi, Everyone. Tomorrow it will be one year since Mom passed. It has been a busy year. New friends , New Job and New Adventure's. Some good some not so good. I still pray for her in my prayers. Than I realize she is ok now . I guess I forget she is gone. Than I say an extra prayer for me.
One of my Fav. Blogger friends lost the love of her life recently to Alzheimer's . Dolores is a wonderful blogger friend and David was so lucky to have had her in his life to love and care for him . Prayers to her and your family.
I am posting 10 more of the 101 ways to spend time with a person with Alzheimer's. I can't say I did many of these with mom. Maybe a few in the early stages. It was a such a long illness and she was in the last stage forever it seemed. I just can't believe it has been a year. Time passed a lot faster now that she is gone than it did when she was laying in bed suffering. I do hate Alzheimer's. And all the caregivers know what I mean. Love to you all. Take care and Pray. Always Pray. You are never alone.
