Everyone needs a quiet place...


This blog is dedicated to my Father, who has Alzheimer's. He had to be admitted to a nursing home in June, 2009. I write about our family's experience with him. We choose to see dementia/Alzheimer's as unpredictable weather... Some days are stormy with thunder and lightning, other days are cloudy, cold and rainy, but today is sunny and I feel like a walk on the beach...

Dad's favorite colors are blue and green...The beach is a special place where we made many family memories. Dad was a strong swimmer and loved to swim in the ocean. After his swim, we would carry our buckets and walk with him looking for shells, beach glass and interesting rocks... I love you Dad.

I just popped in to see your blogs. I loved your Christmas entry, Donna. I wish you lots of time with your family, more good days with both your parents ... and time with new friens and old alike.

Mostly, I wish you peace and an overabundance of joy my dear friend.
