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 has to keep telling herself God has plan for her life, maybe even more than one plan for her life. She had an opportunity yesterday, to share in someone else's grief that is much like her own. This beautiful lady and her beautiful daughter read Sheri's blog. There was something incredibly moving for Sheri to see her own pain reflected back in the face of someone else. It was as if God was providing a mirror for Sheri  to see her own reflection of grief.
She needs trust, pause, praise and pray.

Revelation 21:4
and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away

  1. Dear Sheri... I know how hard it is for you. Something that I am just realizing is that no matter how hard something is when we are experiencing it, when the time comes and it's over, we only remember the good times.

    You are blessed and God is holding you in his hands... you are loved.
