Good Evening,
I had the pleasure of taking care of my father in law, when he couldn't take care of him self. This great man did so much for me and my husband when I married into the family. I never knew that a time would come for me to try and give back what was given to me.

In life we have hills and valleys. We have to endure the good times and the bad. I don't think we would really appreciate the good without the bad. My good times with dad, mostly when we were young, and dad showed us about life. I am not saying that taking care of dad after he got his Alzheimer's, but it sure was bumpy.

I have learned so much about myself during that time. I also think I talked to God more at that time in my life. I had to remember that I was human, and make mistakes. But also being human, I learned to forgive and to be forgiven.

If you want to know what to expect from a loved one with Alzheimer's please read my book. I tell what it is like, the good and the bad. Please find yourself a support group. That is so important for your self worth. You need to see that you are not alone, and others have made the same mistakes you made or had the same blessings that you had. You can learn from someone else and even teach someone else from your own experience.

Thank you,
