Thanks guys!
My grandmother has Alzheimer's.
Not really sure what to say in terms of well-wishing.
I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother.
She's able to keep up a good facade and it's not that bad yet (though we have witnessed changes). Sorry I couldn't give more.My grandmother has Alzheimer's.

It all helps. Thanks!
My sister rocks!
Please feel free to forward the link to the donation page to anyone who might be interested.
There are still a few days left.
Take care!
There's one day left. My sister has raised over $1,600 toward her teams goal of $3,000.
Feel free to let anyone know about the chance to donate especially if they live in the south Texas area.
If someone want to plug this for the Texas FAWTLs that would be cool.
Take care and thanks!
She is at $1800 now, and she is in the top 4.
Thanks to everyone who helped by donating and spreading the word!
There's still some time left before tomorrow's walk. ;)
The south Texas effort has generated almost $35,000 of their $50,000 goal.
Thanks again!
It's getting to be that time of year again so I thought I would put this up again.
Thanks in advance!
My sister's team is almost to $2500, and they walk on Sunday.
Thanks to you all who have donated and forwarded the link!
There's still time to donate. ;)
Today (September 29) is a special day. Yes, it is a Sunday and yes, it's five weeks to the day that I'll be participating in the Walk to End Alzheimer's. However, today marks the sixth anniversary of Mom's death due to Alzheimer's disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
I still remember vividly getting the phone call at 2:45 a.m. that alerted us to Mom's passing. I woke up my brother, who had just flown in from Colorado Springs the night before and who had not had a chance to see Mom, much less say goodbye. Then we called Dad, who at the time was living in a duplex near by. None of us could go back to sleep so we went and picked up Dad and had a mini-wake until about 5:30 a.m. when the lack of sleep hit.
But I have to tell you that we had already lost Mom several years before as Alzheimer's took over her mind. So the loss of Mom's body, while terribly sad, was almost a relief. We already had lost Mom's fierce intellect, her compassion and her strong sense of independence. Instead, we had watched Mom think she was in a busy airport concourse when in reality she was by the nurse's station. We heard her talking about going back to the hotel room when she was actually heading back to her room in the nursing home. We calmed her when she talked about almost being a "crispy critter" due to a fire in the nursing home courtyard (which, in actuality, was a report of a fire in West Texas that she had seen on the news). I kept a calm demeanor when Mom told me that I wasn't her daughter; that, instead, I was her niece.
Not that it's easy to watch any disease take away your loved one, but I found that Alzheimer's is especially cruel by taking the loved one away piece by piece. And that's why I hope you'll help me by supporting my effort in the Walk to End Alzheimer's, which is scheduled for Sunday. Nov. 3. Any donation -- whether $5 or $500 -- will help. Here's the link to use if you want to make an online donation. Or if you want to send a check in, you can print off the form using the link.
Again, thank you so much in helping provide support to people who have Alzheimer's and their caregivers, as well as research dollars to find a cure!
If you make a donation please leave a Paizo or FAWTL tag.
I will match all such donations dollar for dollar up to $500 total.
Thanks again!

We are closing in on $2500.
Thanks again!
See y'all next year! :)
