While on our recent cruise we daily navigated the long hallways back and forth from our cabin.
Mom would often remark about the long walks and I would respond,
"Well, it is good exercise."
One day when I said this, Lily said,
"I had my exercise 20 years ago and I haven't touched it since."
Lilybird, Lily, or Nana Lily are the affectionate names we call my mother who lived with us for 3 years. Living in the moment is a reflection of our family’s decision to focus on the humorous aspects of our journey through Alzheimer’s disease. This blog is inspired by her courage, stubbornness, and humor living with this relentless disease. I hope you enjoy my posts and may my posts encourage you to look through the clouds for a ray of sunshine.
