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.

Purim

With Gregory at Lieberman Center, we have been celebrating more Jewish holidays than every before :-)

Here are a few photos from the Purim Mask Making Party. At Purim children dress up as characters from the biblical story.

Purim |ˈpo͝orimpo͝oˈrēmnoun
a lesser Jewish festival held in spring (on the 14th or 15th day of Adar) to commemorate the defeat of Haman's plot to massacre the Jews as recorded in the book of Esther.

Peaceful The Bear in his Purim Mask.

Gregory, happy as can be.


Sometimes Gregory looks "grumpy" even when he is having a good time.
Here he is with Katharine, Art therapist at Lieberman.

  1. Yes, I also find the same thing with mom – even when she's happy her face is often expressionless. Sometimes I think it's the drugs she's being given, other times maybe it's just the disease… But surely it makes the times that she smiles all that much more joyful.

    I love the bear with the mask :)

    1. Other times he is smiley and laughing for our entire visit! You are right about the down times making the up times even higher.
