The first day of January 2009...............
My purpose for sharing our story is to shine a ray of hope to anyone with a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's. It's an awful disease, and I hate it so much, but so is parkinson's, cancer, and all the other diseases. We happen to be living with this one........cherish each day! Today I can say that we've had more good days than I ever expected.
David was diagnosed with Alzheimer's on October 2005. Three years later, I find myself thankful that he's still doing so well. I praise God we live during a time when there are medications that sometime hold Alzheimer's at bay ...... for how long, we don't know, but we're thankful for each day, and make the most of our time together.
I thank God for our family, friends and our church, without their love, encouragement, and acceptance, this journey would be so much harder.
We don't know what tomorrow brings, but we have today, and we'll embrace every minute of everyday and move forward with our life.
January 1, 2010...... David is still doing remarkably well! We have more good days than bad days...... And I say, "thank you God!"

Dolores,
Your post of a year ago brings tears to my eyes. Your journey has been one of both joy and heartache. It has also been a journey of love, patience, and understanding.
May the Lord continue to bless you on your journey.
