Buddha, This is a touching piece, and one to which those who have experienced this strange and sad malady in the life of a loved can readily relate. Patience and gentle forbearing are such great virtues under such circumstances. Thank you for sharing this with us, David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Your compassion comes shining through in this piece. I know what this dreadful disease is like having worked on an ALZ. unit and now having a brother-in-law experiencing the same condition. It is so sad for the families of these patients. |

This is sad, and I'm sure hard on all who are involved. I've heard that they live in the past, try to make a photo album of things from their past if your able, to help them remember those things. I heard a story on that once, from a lady, whether on TV or not, I can't remember. Though she said it helped! Shall be in my prayers. <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go...

Compassion is the greatest help a patient can get. Yours definitely comes through. It's such a wonderful thing with these patients, as no one but God knows how you're being the voice and memory for them and keeping loves warmth alive. Bless you. |

You are so beautifully compassionate here. God bless you and keep you and your loved ones. He now has the innocence of a child. All is not lost because he has lived. And you carry this on in a beautiful way! My prayers for you and your loved ones. Sincerely, Rwood |
