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

Sheri still has so much to do. Tomorrow is moving day. She has had great support from dear friends. Daughters number 1 and 2 are being very supportive as well. But there is no doubt the sting of this move is very painful. Sheri always thought her grandchildren would be spending holidays in this house, and summers in the sprinkler in her garden. Sheri is learning to let go... a very, very slow process. Letting go of the house, letting go of her garden and letting go of Bob.

Isaiah 43:18-19
remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

    Hi Sheri, I'm a faithful reader of your blog (ever since our beloved Nana was diagnosed; she passed away a few month ago). You are in my prayers with your move...moving is difficult even in ideal circumstances. Love and blessings to you, your friend in San Diego
