Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for being a wonderful source of support to us, and thus to Mom.
Thank you, from all of us doing the heavy lifting for our lady,
for your virtual company, empathy, laughter, and distractions.
Thank you for being our village.
Because that's what it took.
And now she is proud of each and every one of us.
xoxo,
Girl, The Other Girl, and Mom
hey how are you doing as the days go past Lickety? Thinking of you all xxx
Thank YOU for sharing your ups and downs so honestly (and sometimes rawly) while caring for your mom. It was always refreshing to read the un-glossed, nitty gritty reality of the daily dementia circus. We're still in the beginning stages with both my parents and too often I find myself day-dreaming of how masterfully I'll be able to handle it all as their dementia progresses. Your accounts have helped to temper my fantasies of the future. I've a minor in gerontology and have worked with those with dementia, but still I like to fantasize that I'll be emotionally fluid and proactive rather than reactive. Regardless, we're planning on taking them on, knowing that we'll eventually be grateful we were able…
What Kerri said “a gazillion” times over, as my grands put it. You are one talented, compassionate woman. We are lucky to have been blessed with your insightful stories. You should start on your screenplay, “Mom”. I’d pay to watch it!
I'm quite certain I've been the caregiver poster child for how to fail and then get back on that pony and try again, Danila! Actually, we probably all have a few times in our caregiver "careers." 😋
That is quite a compliment you've paid me. Thank you for finding inspiration in our journey, and discovering your own inspiration in yours.
thank you for inspiring us, for showing us the way, for showing us it's ok to fail, and then try again, for showing us how to love
