August 26, 2021 Dementia Days! Dementia is sometimes hard. My mother celebrated her 90th birthday last weekend. She does not believe she is 90. Actually, she is more than a little resistant to any claim that she is 90 years old. Although she is in pretty good shape physically, her mind suffers from an aging […]

June 24, 2021 Prodigals! She is lost as lost can be. She is trying her best but struggles to fit in. There are few people she would call a friend. She floats from one relative to another every week for a place to sleep. She puts on a happy face but cannot disguise the pain […]
