Her Words Say It All

My dear Elizabeth doesn't post to Love Elizabeth very much these days - but then given what has been going on in her life it is understandable that she has very little time for blogging. When she does it is not usual for her posts to stop me in my tracks and take my breath away.

I try to avoid family matters or speaking of things that, though close to me, are not mine to speak off but her entry is past week hits very close to home - hers and ours.  Sadly Laurent and the rest of the family have watched this happen over the past ten years in our family and can only share with Liz and her family the sorrow, the pain and the fear.  A right click on the remarkable photo will take you to a piece that has had me close to tears for several days now.

She has captured so much of what we are seeing and have seen and are afraid that we will see.

What Is That?

My friend Yannis posted this short film on Facebook earlier this week. Given what Laurent has been going through this past few weeks I thought I would share it.

Alzheimer's is truly a dreadful disease. As well as it hitting home in our household I know so many of my friends are dealing with it in their families. The best we can all do is have compassion and hold the memories of who they were in our hearts.
