Hi Leah

 

I read your moving post and had to comment.  When we read about dementia or Alzheimer's disease a lot of times it is from a medical perspective in bullet points.  But it is seldom that we get to hear how something like dementia feels for the person who has this diagnosis.  I canot begin to imagine what you are going through but you help us to understand a little better.  Not only that...you are telling us about ways that help you function in the day to day.  Your posts are invaluable for these reasons.

 

You are helping so many people by sharing your story.

 

Thank you for all that you do.
