Lots to do while my dad is gone, and we're making a dent in it all, but it seems never ending. We went and saw an elder care attorney. Lots to think about. Lots of choices. Lots of decisions to make. Lots more to do.
We're still unpacking boxes. We're still packing boxes for Harriet. We're still cleaning, sorting, arranging, and integrating his things into ours.
6 days til we go pick him up from the Village Oaks. I have not gone to see him, but I have called 3-4 times/week to see how things are going. Reportedly, he is doing OK. He says, "wonderful" when asked how he is doing, is participating in activities, and eating well. Debbie, the nurse, has been very kind in answering my questions and making me feel good about this respite.
Still, I miss him lots!!!

Prayer for those Living with Alzheimer's
O God of love, hear our prayer
for all who suffer from Alzheimer's.
In the days of changing memory,be with them in their fears.
In the days when memory has gone, bless their families who suffer.
Surround them with tender love from family, friend, and stranger.
Grant them peace in their hearts, a secure home environment, and dignity in their lives.
May each day bring a blessing, hope and greater love.
Amen.
-Vienna Cobb Anderson

About Me
- Marcia
- Chandler, Arizona, United States
- I am a wife, mother of two grown kids, a pediatric occupational therapist, and now...care giver for my 87 year old father who happens to have Alzheimer's. I share this journey with my family, who has shown love, patience, and strength...not to mention great respite, when needed. That was then... Now I am adjusting to life without my dad after his death, and struggling with the aftermath of Alzheimer's Disease.
