Your posts, with your appreciation of daily events, your active participation in your health care, your recognition of memory issues and methods of coping with them, are all just amazing to me.  My mother has Alzheimer's and from the beginning she has not wanted to recognize it as it scares her so badly.  Then, when my father had a stroke (physically good, but cognition not so great), it has been so hard to see them struggle and fight against any limitations and their fears.  

I will continue to read your posts for inspiration, for helping me to help them as best I can, and mostly so that my fear (with my rapidly deteriorating, tired, stressed brain) of going down the same path is kept in check by your appreciation of new experiences and by seeing the way you cope with change.  

Seriously, I am not an eloquent writer, but you have just lifted my spirits amazingly.  You have are a gift.
