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"

Most days Sheri feels like her head is above water, even if only barely above water. She woke up today with an intense feeling of being lost in her life. Then she thought of how Bob must feel lost in the life of "Al".
Sheri hates this disease.

Luke 19:10 
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save that which was lost.”

  1. Tonight I brought home Chinese food Sherri. My fortune said something about a man and his purpose. I asked my husband "what is your purpose hon"? He looked at me and said "well, I used to have a purpose" . . . I quickly responded "what . . . Your purpose is to love me and no one does it like you do!"! We laughed and smiled . . . I'm so glad this disease doesn't seem to ever hurt my husband! For that I'm grateful!
