Life Lessons

Two things become more certain each year of my life. I will always encounter new challenges and have new things to learn as I face these challenges. God will be there with me each step of the way. Almost 5 years ago my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. The signs had been pointing toward that for several years prior to that day. Still it took my breathe away as the doctor said the words. Since then I have learned that holding the hands of my husband, my brother and sister-in-law and close friends gives me encouragement. Holding the hands of other caregivers gives me knowledge and comfort. Holding the hands of my parents keeps me connected with their hearts. Knowing God holds all of us gives me strength. The purpose of this blog is to offer friendship, knowledge, hope and comfort as I hold your hand. Please feel free to share your stories in the comment section. Feel free to invite other caregivers and families to this site. Together we will walk hand in hand. Some days we will laugh. Other days we will cry. Always we will be here for each other.
