This will not be a sob story, although at times we may cry. It will simply be a place where those of us who are caregivers can share our stories, vent our frustrations and know that we are not alone in this scary journey in which we find ourselves.
I am very blessed to have tremendous family and friends who assist me in the care of my mother. I know that many of you do not have that luxury and how frustrating it can be to deal with this disease day in and day out. We will be each others shoulder to cry on, sounding board, inspiration and strength. Please join me each day as I document our day.
Mom still loves to socialize, drink her wine and laugh. She is usually in pretty good spirits even if she doesn't have a clue who she is with. This is a great picture. Every time we go out to dinner Mom asks why she has white wine and we have red. We respond that she doesn't like red wine. She asks to try it and then she makes this face. Sometimes she will do this 5 or 6 times during the meal but always at least once during every meal out.
