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"

Today is Sheri and Bob's 26th Wedding Anniversary, another years past with "Al"

Sheri wonders what "Bob" would say, if his voice was all his own.
Would he say "Sheri when you leave the room... I feel all alone".
Would he say "thank you', for taking care of the family
Would he say "your eyes look tired', and wipe the tears he see's?
Would he know that open arms, are an invitation to hold her tight
Would he know she needs him in the darkest part of night.
Would he say he loves her like the day that they were wed
Would one look be enough to feel the love, even with words unsaid
Sheri wonders what would Bob say if his voice was all his own
But Bob's voice is a whisper...and Sheri feels... alone.



Genesis 2:18 

Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”

    The way you express yourself is beautiful. I feel your pain, all I need someday from my husband is a squeeze and to tell me I am doing a great job. Sad but its all gone, give me some tissue caused I had my cry for the day. Happy Anniversary always in my prayers. Rina
