I
received the pictured journal as a gift. It has numerous questions about life:
as a child, Family life, favorite things, etc. I thought it would be a great
tool to use to get her talking and to help her to remember. I was right! She
loves it! Her memory about childhood events was very sharp today. The journey
begins...I'm writing mom's story and making her a memory book. BEST VISIT EVER!
Lessons learned from an upbringing in dysfunction, caring for my mom who has dementia and my dad who had a stroke, and all the emotions that come each day. My intentions are to bridge my past with the present through my perspective in pictures, writing, etc. Sharing is therapeutic. In helping myself, I pray I help others.

Remember!
Mom
was in the corner of the room facing the wall. She had one of her socks off and
holding the bare foot up. She said she was getting a pedicure. The pedicurist
was an "invisible" person. She told me to shut up and wait until she
was done. So I waited 10 minutes. The things I have to do. LOL!
