Welcome to my Blog :)

Thank you for your kindness, compassion, and most importantly your support throughout this difficult journey. Your physical presence wasn't necessarily what we needed; your love, strength and caring was.

IN MOM'S MEMORY, to those of you who sponsored me for the Investor's Group Memory Walk...I walked 5kms on 18 June 2011 in the pouring rain, and cold weather. We were soaked and covered in mud. I raised $1176 to help THEM find a cure BEFORE WE REACH OUR GOLDEN YEARS. To find out if we were fortunate enough to reach our goal this year, go to:

www.alzheimer.ab.ca to check out the numbers.

Congratulations to all who participated in support of those who can no longer do so themselves. This disease could affect all of us at one point of our lives or another. The next time someone approaches you, wondering if you'll sponsor them, consider saying yes because it could be YOU or someone you love facing this devastating disease. Don't wait until it's too late.

A Tired Mama

Mom was pretty tired today.  Dave & I got there just as she was starting supper.  She is moving tomorrow so Dave took the TV and I packed up most of her things because the transport will only take two bags and mom had WAY more than two bags full of things from clothes to photos to cards.  Everything had to go.  I left her with a change of clothes and a few toiletries.

After Dave left with the TV and the photos, Mom and I sat and chatted for a while.  I packed up her things and then it was time for me to leave.  After all, I was hungry.  We went up right after work...still hadn't eaten supper yet.  Mom was okay with it as I told her I'd meet her at her new digs tomorrow.  They'll call me when they're ready to move her so I can meet her there.  I do need to sit with the manager and complete paperwork, get Mom settled and make sure she's comfortable before I leave there.

THEN, perhaps after a few weeks, I'll scale back visits to once every other night...then after a few weeks, once every third night...After visiting her every day for so long, I'm likely to have withdrawal...

Ah, the joys...anyway, I'm hoping Mom will be better rested tomorrow and will be chipper and looking forward to her new "adventure."

Thanks for stopping by...
