I am walking and raising money for the Alzheimer's Association in honor of my Mom. Last year my Mom was diagnosed with Dementia and Alzheimer's. So many of the things she used to do without even thinking about it are now extremely difficult or not even possible for her. Her memory loss includes not remembering names of friends and family, and sometimes even who they are which is frustrating for her. It is so sad to watch her go through all of this - especially knowing it's just going to keep getting worse. She is aware that she has trouble remembering her words and how to do things, and I'm guessing there will be a time when she doesn't realize this anymore. I miss being able to have a relaxed conversation with Mom, it's so important to choose words and tone very carefully as to not upset or confuse her.
I encourage you to make a donation to the Alzheimer's Association or participate in this year's walk. It is very possible that you have a family member with this horrible disease or know someone who does and understand how devastating this disease can be. Let's all be part of the fight to help fund research to find a cure that will stop Alzheimer's!
Thank you.
