I am so glad you left a comment on my blog that prompted me to search for yours. This final entry is every bit as powerful and meaningful as your writings from a year ago. Blessings to you as your life continues to evolve. By the way, I lov…
For some reason, I lost track of your posts. I knew I was not seeing anything from you and thought perhaps you had quit posting, knowing how difficult these final days of dementia would be. It was good to see your blog name pop up again and…
Reading your posts has been so beneficial about what we know and do not know about dementia. As a severe diabetic, I run the risk of dementia. I would prefer to have one of the other numerous diseases that diabetes affects but you don't get…
Thank you for your beautiful posts, Carole. I’m so in awe of the love you both share for each other even with this devastating illness. Kay, I'm grateful he has moved beyond the middle stage. That period of time was so very difficult for hi…
Jim is so fortunate to have you as his caregiver. And now that extends to all others in the unit. I hope that the doctors will honor these requests, which are so important in keeping the sufferers stable and happy. Thank you so much for sha…

Just thinking of you and hoping you are well. Came across a poem that made me think of you and Jim. Will keep checking in on you... and praying for you both. Hi Carol! Yes, I am doing well. Thanks so much for your care, prayers and your con…
It is good to hear from you again, Carole, and to know that things are going well for you. I think you are brave to move house. I thought about it for a while but decided that I should retain the property in memory of the man who provided i…
