Fabulous “Diamonds”

March 4, 2010 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

I remember my mom had this amazing rhinestone necklace that as a little girl I thought was diamonds. It was something that Princess Grace might have worn if it was the real thing. It had a big cluster pendant and dainty neck piece. She would only let me look at it every once in the […]

Caring for my Parents

March 3, 2010 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

I started taking care of my adopted parents when I was 19 when no one else in the family would step up to the plate to do it. My mom was completely bed ridden and my father was on oxygen. I used to have to put my mom on a bed pan and wipe her […]

March 3, 2010 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

Saying a Long Goodbye

March 2, 2010 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

My mother has Alzheimer’s and needs more care from her husband and me. As her only daughter, I visit at least one day a week, and take her to church where she meets with old friends and feels at home. Our roles are reversed, as I now guide her through the halls and help her […]
