Dementia, the strange thief in the day and night that robs one of all dignity before it is done. You are graced with the bits and pieces of time that flash for you. I came from Long Island, East Meadow, and when I got sick no one in my family wanted to do anything for me. I moved to New Mexico and I write and paint. I traveled all over the west until this past year when I could go no longer. Believe me caring for her is hard but you are giving her the greatest gift she can ever get. Blessings, faith and strength for you and your family.
