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.

Monday at Lieberman

I walked into Gregory's room around 2:00 today. He and Manny were watching the Food Channel. I loudly said, "Hello!" and gave Gregory a moment or two to focus. When he realized it was me his face lit up like a 100 watt light bulb, he opened his arms to me, and said, "Oh. It's my Michael."

I melted.

When I hugged him he actually hugged back. He was so alert and engaged for the entire visit.

Appreciate the Momentary Monumental Magical Miracles!

Oh My!

I arrived at Gregory's room at 3:30 this afternoon. He was in his wheel chair, Manny sitting next to him, and they were watching TV.

I announced myself, "Hi. My love! It's me!"

Imagine in Gregory's voice, choked with joyous emotion, articulately, "Oh my! You are home!" Then he cried.

"Yes here I am and I love you soooo much!" I hugged him and we rocked.

Another Momentary Monumental Miracle.


Happy Gregory

Pensive Gregory as I was telling him about Gabe Schimmel, son of his college roommate John Schommel, coming to Chicago to film a documentary about our Journey! 
"I think that is good." he commented. Yet another Momentary Monumental Miracle!

Mini-Miracles

I do not remember what we were doing but at one point, Gregory looked at me and said, "You are so nice."
