A Caregiver?
I remember a few years ago, shortly after Curt was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s going to an online support group for those who know someone with Alzheimer’s. As I signed up I had to list if I was patient with Alzheimer’s or a caregiver. I remember thinking, what?!? I was neither, I was Curt’s wife, he …

I am Thankful!
Tis the season to reflect upon our many blessings! My mind is coffee deprived and slowly starting to awake on this chilly morning, but it’s always a good habit to get in each morning and Thank God for His blessings…….. big, small, frivolous, silly, life changing, or encouraging.

Oct. 1st
The day passed in our house pretty much unnoticed. There was no mention of it, I actually didn’t realize it until a few days later. Then it occurred to me, It’s been 2 years since those dreaded words were spoken to Curt and I in a Dr’s office on Oct 1st, 2010….. “Curt has dementia, …

The Roller Coaster Ride!
So last Monday was the pits. Our sweet dog of 10 years, Nina, had become rather complacent on Sunday and I was a bit concerned about her when I left for school on Monday. I had made a vet appointment for her the next day. So as we settled into our Monday evening routine, I …

So long 2011
Well I can’t really say 2011 has been good to us…..but I can thank God for many of the blessings we have seen along the journey of living with Alzheimer’s. There are many good things that have happened this year, and I am choosing to reflect upon them on this New Years Eve! It is …
Homerun and A Heavenly Home
Tyler trotted around the bases during his Varsity baseball season this year with excitement, eventually tagging home plate as the team erupted into an impromptu celebration. It was his his first high school home run. Reaching home as a sophomore was a reason to celebrate! We traveled a ton this summer, new cities, new hotels, …
