To all my family, caretakers, friends, classmates and Facebook pals who have called, sent texts, private messages, cards, brought food, flowers and/or came by to give hugs during the past year of my mamas illness, my siblings and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts. It has been an exhausting and heartbreaking journey but with your support we fulfilled our duties and promises with love and dignity. For those of you who kept us in your prayers - you have my heart - without strength from God, we could never have made it. I am humbled and thankful. To those of you who have a loved one suffering with Alzheimers, my heart breaks for you. It is the most insidious and demeaning disease I have ever seen. The most painful thing Ive ever experienced was the day my mama looked at me and asked, Who are you? My suggestion is do your homework - learn about the disease - know what you are going to be dealing with from day to day - talk to your doctor - join the Alzheimers support group - research, research and research some more. Each stage of this disease brings a new set of issues - it can be devastating for you and your family, your health, your emotional well being and your spirituality. If you need someone to talk to or need help finding resources, or help in your home, please feel free to call me or private message me. God Bless each and every one of you.
