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"....
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.

Hi Sheri. Just wanted to let you know that I check in several times per week to see how Bob and Al are doing. My husband has early onset and I love the sweet endearing and sometimes comical way you put things. Some of the things my own husband does are truly funny. I see nothing wrong being able to recognize the silly things they sometimes do to help bring a bit of levity to this devastating disease. I hope when my husband is in need of "daycare" I am able to find a place as nice as what Bob's seems to be. I voted for your blog and plan to do it each day. I'm sure you could use that top prize money for something special for yourself and Bob. Take care and know that I am praying for both of you. Keep posting :)
