My Dad kept her home until it was no longer safe to do so - she began falling frequently. I think the worst day of my life was when she did not know who I was but then one of the happiest was when she called me her friend. It is a very long and emotional journey and I watched each of my siblings handle it in different ways. My heart goes out to Susan and her Mother. It is not an easy journey in any way.<br />Vintage Paint and more...https://www.blogger.com/profile/15063907731559066211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-67198905606075700302014-09-19T15:52:36.067-07:002014-09-19T15:52:36.067-07:00They are both amazing...and I am a follower now. ...They are both amazing...and I am a follower now.

A tough and humbling road to be on. I talked with a young woman who's Grandmother had been placed in a care home for Alzheimer's patients. She said her Grandmother was retelling a family story, but she mixed something up, stopped, struggled to find the right thing she meant to say, then said to her - I'm going crazy, aren't I?

She lived the last couple of years in an assisted living lock-in Alzheimer's unit. Until she came down with pneumonia, she did very well there. She was a funny one. Some days she knew exactly who you were and what was going on, other days, she was back in the 1930's. She lived to age 92. She was remarkable. Have a blessed weekend!!!

I quit work when we started our family and then our neighbor across the street was diagnosed with it. I was able to help out with her day to day care. I'd go over every afternoon and have a coffee with her while her husband ran errands. Later I'd gave her a bath several times a week ... she would swing between grateful and mad. You have to have a sense of humor! One time she told me that I was so smart (sarcastically) that I should join the Air Force. She was so feisty. She's since passed but I miss our coffee dates. My husband's grandmother passed away with it too. It's a terrible disease. Thank you so much for sharing this precious blog Suzan!

I remember my MIL having signs of dementia and seeing everyone in her family just ignore the obvious - perhaps because I was the outsider it was easier for me to tell. It started with her repeated story telling. She died of other causes, but I can see where this could be a long road to travel for some. This woman is doing a fabulous job with her mom.Rita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186929171672526984.post-27919800426935411222014-09-19T05:40:57.595-07:002014-09-19T05:40:57.595-07:00Awwwwwww :)
