Then and Now- I don’t want to forget
Please God, as the demands of today become so glaring and ugly, and yesterday blurs and fades, give me love for the person he is now, but never let me forget the man he was.Friday, March 21, 2008

Memories?
Alzheimer's disease is a terrible thing. It robs you of people you have loved for many years. It comes silently to rob, bit by bit it steals the riches of life, memories, from the essence of life, your soul. What is the most horrendous part of the theft is that you don't realize that a robbery has taken place.
On Friday our family met with a lawyer. He said, we have to diminish your family's assets. It made me think, isn't that really what is going on with this disease now any way? Isn't the disease diminishing all the earthly assets we have? The most precious thing we accumulate over life, our memories?
My emotions are too numb to deal with this, I haven't been able to process any of this. I live from day to day not being able to absorb any of this. This is another reason I am questioning God. What are you doing?
