This blog is about life with my husband who was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimer's and Frontal Lobe Dementia in 2008. He was 64 at the time although now, knowing more about the disease, Alzheimer's was present many, many years ago, which is why early detection is so important. As you read the blog the character "Al" that I created in 2008, represents the way that Alzheimer's is invading our daily lives.
There is an archive tab further down the page that starts from the beginning of our journey.

Living with Bob and Al - repost

If ever there were a season
that holds the emotions too near
it is the season of holly jolly
the season of Christmas cheer

Yet I am one among many
for whom the season is confettied with tears
the pain and the strife of everyday life
has left many deep wounds through the year..

Yet we all have so much in common
we share pain, we share hope, and despair
We are in fact, "goin' through the motions"
It is just hidden in "Happy New Year".....

    {{{hugs}}} and prayers of strength and comfort for you Sherri. I was led here via Vicki's post on her photoblog, perhaps for a reason. My recent visit home showed my father to have some significant memory problems. I think my mother is hiding more than she's willing to share with me but I know now that I need to confront the issue with her. It's hard having them 3000 miles away. Your blog has given me something I needed to take action and I thank you for that.
