About Me

We're not the typical family. I've recently become Caregiver/Guardian to my Mom as she deals with Dementia. I'm married, have three grown children and also an 18 yr. old daughter who lives at home and recently made us grandparents to her beautiful new baby girl. That means that we have four generations of women under the same roof. Mister and I have been married forever. . .It's not the life we dreamed about, nor the one we would have chosen, but most days we find a way to laugh and bumble our way through. We're enjoying the journey, even with the unexpected side trips along the way. FOLLOW ME, if you dare! LOL!

"Hurry Back. I am waiting!!!"

Mom sent me this Christmas card after I had visited her mid-December.
So much has changed since then.

She is an assisted living center now.
She doesn't understand why my sister and I are seeking Guardianship.
She doesn't understand why she is no longer allowed to drive.
She doesn't understand what has happened to the world as she knew it.

We have no words that make sense to her,
so there will be no understanding.

Dementia is UGLY.
