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.

Batia's Poem

This poem was written many, many years ago, long before the onset of her dementia, by Batia who is one of Gregory's table mates. Batia and her daughters have become part of my Lieberman Family.

Batia’s Poem

Now that I have sprained my ankle
I’m force to review where I’m going.

So when I go blind
I’ll see my heart.

Then I’ll go deaf
to hear my soul.

Turn dumb
To state the truth.

That leaves madness
To contemplate reality.

Dramatic measures to face the world.
