FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

The Tragic Gap


I thought of you this am when I read the following:

To live in this world, we must learn how to stand in the tragic gap with faith and hope.  By the "tragic gap" I mean the gap between what is and what could and should, the gap between the reality of a given situation and an alternative reality we know to be possible because we have experienced it.
                ....Parker J. Palmer, Weavings, March/April 2009.

Boy, if that isn't a description of living with Alzheimer's I don't know what is.

Love and hugs to both of you,
B
