After living in Southern California for 20 years, I returned home to upstate New York to watch over my mother who was suffering from Alzheimer's Disease. My brother and I did everything we could to keep her in familiar surroundings at home and avoid assisted living. We were successful until June 2009, two weeks short of her 80th birthday. These Alzheimer's Moments document her life and the challenges of being a primary caregiver.

You wrote it pale and moving, I like it. By the way, I was born in the year of rabbit, and a libra too.
Thanks! :)
Sometimes the best way to write about something that isn't so pleasant is to be an objective silent observer.
Oh, and another Libra Rabbit? The world is in big trouble! ;) (Not really, we are very special people.)
I've enjoyed reading your posts. My heart warms to anyone who loves family - despite the fact that sometimes family is not lovable. I'm 69, aging bu still nothing serious. I'm fortunate and I also have family who I hope would do the same for me as you are doing for your mother. Good Karma.
