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.

A Perfect Moment

I sat with Gregory for a couple of hours, dinner was just around the corner, and the Resident Care Aide had just arrived to change him. I said my usual: "OK, I am going to go now. I love you. I will visit you tomorrow. OK?"

"WAIT, WAIT" - Gregory almost shouted at me.

I sat back down took his hand again and asked, "What?"

"I ... I ... JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW ... " he almost shouted again ... and then he stalled.

"That you love me?" I asked.

"YES, YES," he replied.

I kissed his forehead, "I love you too!" and left.

Whether that is what he wanted to say or whether I invented it ... it was another Perfect Moment!
