Mom: I wonder if things like that really exist?
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.

It's moments like these that I find adorable. It's like our parents are innocently exploring the world all over again.
Wow!!
It is truly amazing how we return to the innocence.
I like to think of this as God's way of giving my mother-in-law a second childhood while she lived w/dimentia.
Yes, they do. They always have, we just forget about them between the ages of say, 8 and 75.
