That was just the inspiration I needed to get back into telling my mother's story. I have found so many people who are dealing with helping a loved one through this disease. I miss my mom so much, it is hard for me to write about it. 7 months later & I still talk to her during the day, and the odd thing is, I usually picture her in her later years, because the disease brought us closer together - she wasn't crazy with dementia, she was just living in the moment - and it was through the disease that I began to realize what an amazing person she was - and it was through the disease that we both gained better understanding of what really matters. My heroes are the nurses & caregivers - underpaid angels! They made such a difference! Joni – Thank you so much for your kind comment.

Dementia/Alzheimers residents make what I do on a daily basis very rewarding. I have enjoyed reading your stories so much , as I am a nurse in Long term care.
