{{{{{HUG}}}} God grant you the strength for each day.

JAD says,

I take care of mom and its get's harder each day. After two years just applied for some help from the alzheimer's association where they have adult day care to relieve me when I have to run errands. It would help me so.

you amaze me.

JAD you are a wonderful person to take this on. I am so glad you reached out to the Alzheimer's Assoc. I have heard of them and they can really help give you and many others some much needed relief.

scribbling_scribe says,

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

JAD, I took care of my mom from October 2000 until she passed away from cancer in February 2002. That was an extremely difficult period in my life.

Now I am slowly losing my husband to A.D. Sometimes life feels a bit overwhelming...
