Alzhiemers'
My grandmother passed with Alzhiemers'. When I was 16 I met her for the first and last time. I can clearly remember walking into her old home in Manila where she felt most comfortable in her last stages. She stayed in the bedroom with a lovely light green bed and a desk. I remember a window against the dark wooded home bringing such bright light into her space. I'm not sure if she remembered my mother, but I was introduced as her granddaughter. When I looked at her desk, she had photos of my mother, my mother's children. I was so happy to have met her. This is dedicated to her and everyone fighting Alzhiemers', especially Joe---check out his blog here: http://living-with-alzhiemers.blogspot.com/. God Bless.
