Leah you must have the biggest heart in the world. You take so much of you time to give so much to so many. God truly granted us an angel on earth when he sent you here. You go through so much yet you remain helpful, kind and caring. You truly are one of a kind. It's hard to complain about anything when meeting someone like you. You have your struggles huge ones but you are always here to comfort others and share you triumphs and tragedy's. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart.
May God bless and keep you and may he heal your body so you can continue on.
Thank You for being you.Connie
Hello,
I am a program coordinator for the Alzheimer's Society of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada. I was conducting research today on living with the disease and came across your blog. I have to tell you, I started to read one entry and found it so informative I decided to read them all!
As a person that is involved with people with dementia and thier families on a daily basis, I truly appreicate your courage and honesty in writing these entries. Not only do you help those reading, but you have also helped me in seeing the disease from another perspective that is often overlooked, that of the person who has the disease.
Although you may be facing difficult times, I send you comfort in knowing your humility and sense of humor in facing dementia have helped many, myself included. I wish you all the best and will be anxiously awaiting the next post!
Take care,
Hello Leah,
So very sorry to hear of your problems. Please know that you are an inspiration to everyone, but especially those of us with Alzheimer's and other dementias. I am 57, have Alzheimer's, and am always looking for information to help me learn about and deal with my disease. You very well know that there isn't much out there for us as far as support groups. I always look forward to your postings. I truly appreciate your willingness to discuss those personal issues. Your strength helps me to become stronger each day. Thank you!
I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Hopefully healing hrelief will come to you soon.

Thank you, Lyn, for your kind and encouraging words. We need to stick together and make the public more aware of Alzheimers and Dementia. We need to put our faces and stories out there so that it becomes more meaningful to society. And, our voices together with caregivers, need to be heard by our Congressmen! Bless you. I'm so glad I can reach you. Your answer has made my day. I look so forward to hearing from my readers and get really depressed when I don't; I feel like I'm writing to the air...so, thank you again for writing!
Leah
