It has been along time since I posted anything on this site. Due to several of my presentations it has picked up hits again and is averaging 100-200 hits per day. While the blog is dormant, it contains many useful posts and I am pleased to see it serving again as a reference to so many.
A reminder that when I moved away from the "Alzheimer's BLOG" and back to my "Writer's BLOG," I did so because with Gregory's death, Alzheimer's and supporting him was no longer the biggest part of my life.
If I was to grieve his death and revitalize my individual life in a healthy way, i.e. not holding on to the past, I needed to move on and to move away from the subject of Alzheimer's.
That does not mean that I no longer think about the Alzheimer's, talk about it, support the sharing of information about it, or advocate for those with the disease.
This is an invitation to you to visit my writer's blog which deals with the grieving process and how my life has changed and continued since Gregory's death.
It also will keep you informed on the documentary "ALZHEIMER'S: A Love Story" which at this point has been accepted to 52 film festivals across the U.S. and World (2 in London, 1 in UK, Hong Kong, Amsterdam, Florence, Madrid, Mexico City, Durbin South Africa.) It has won 27 awards!

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.

CURRENT UPDATE - October 12, 2016
Tuesday, January 5, 2016
TBD (Thanks, Browse, and Defect) To Be Determined
Dear "michael a horvich cares about Alzheimer's" Blog Readers,
I continue to get many hits on the old site http://mhorvichcares.blogspot.com and I am grateful for that. Look around, browse back through the close to 1,500 plus posts which have received over 74,000 hits. and experience the journey of Gregory and my Dementia/ Alzheimer's experiences, observations, lessons learned, etc.
... but I have taken a big risk by beginning to post only to my writer's blog (http://mhorvich.blogspot.com) since the posts are now about me, about grieving Gregory's death, about living beyond Dementia/ Alzheimer's. The risk is that I will loose some of my readership and that loss makes me sad.
So please, please, please enjoy and learn and grow (if I may be so bold) from my posts on the Dementia/ Alzheimer's blog but also come on over to my writer's blog for future adventures with Dementia, Grieving, and learning more about me and my musings, poetry, observations, essays, humor, fiction, etc.
The "michael a. horvich writes" blog is not new and currently has over 608 posts with 19,966 hits so there is a lot to read there. P.S. Feel free to comment on what you read!
Looking forward to seeing you there,
Michael

Transitions
Dear Readers.
As I make the transition from ending my "Alzheimer's Blog" to re-invigorating my "Writer's Blog", I will double post on both. You can sign up to receive the posts by e-mail or by subscribing. These links are located on the top right side of the page once you are on the writer's blog.
My "mhorvich cares about alzheimer's" blog has been somewhat linear, with some back and forth, but none-the-less following Gregory and my journey since 2010. It shares not only our experiences but also our ups and downs, our lessons, and suggestions that may help you think about life, death, and the activity called living! Even though the journey and the blog are linear, there are benefits from scrolling back through the blog in a non-linear fashion to experience the Journey of Alzheimer's at various twists and turns and rest areas on the path.
My "mhorvich writes" blog is non-linear, more random. I write about what moves me, when it moves me and where it moves me. Sometimes I write about my life experiences, sometimes dreams, often observations and insight into situations, and also just "musings." Some of the writings are in essay form, some memoirs, some poetry. Some are fiction, most are non-fiction. As with a linear blog, you could start at the beginning and work your way through, over time, to the current day post. Or you could dip in here and there to see what you come up with.
Both blogs have "key word descriptions" running along the right side of the page with the number of times that topic has been addressed. If you click on the key word, it will open all of the posts dealing with that descriptor.
Finally, comments are always appreciated. You can sign in with one of the comment accounts or just use "Anonymous." Please add your name or initials if you want me to know who you are. Also, check the "Notify Me"box if you want to receive a reply. I always reply to comments.
Fondly,
Michael
