Dementia is not an easy diagnosis to deal with. My heart ❤️ goes out to you and all who suffer with it.

I lost my Mom and one of my sisters this year. Our Dad in 2015. A brother in 2017.

We're all here for you.

As with my Brother, your Mother and sister are together, whole and at peace.

My youngest remaining sister said our Brother gave us a gift and we will not waste it. We are what is left of our family.

What a beautiful gift your brother gave you! There are 6 of us left out of 10. We all have children and grandchildren...

Enjoy this beautiful day my friend. After my aneurysm and heart attack, I look at life differently. A bit more 'be here now', enjoying the moment, the present. Each breath, each hug, from our grandsons, and others, is a gift.

Sorrow Shared is Halved and
Happiness Shared is Doubled!

A favorite old saying I heard long ago.

Nothing of what you're going through is temporary. Glad you see us as a community that tries to honor each other's feelings in ways that help you and the rest of us, for that matter, get through the hardest times in life. No one should feel alone in grieving. Yep, we're here for you.

Love and hugs.
