She once told a cousin his mom had psychiatric problems (his mom died in an accident when he was a kid). Fortunately she told me the same thing on our way to visit him, so I was able to give him fair warning. There were days I wanted to just scream - and I know my quilting helped me maintain my sanity. We also put Mom in assisted living and that was a Godsend. It's a tough time and you have my thoughts and prayers.suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13432352442859238887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-68733394444439093652013-03-08T14:19:55.911-08:002013-03-08T14:19:55.911-08:00Reaching your goal is a stellar achievement!

I hope you are keeping a journal of all that is happening. When I was caring for my husband there were some things that made me laugh and others that made me cry. I wrote down all that stuff, because it was helpful to read after he died. It affirmed that I didn't want him back with that disease. Yes, I also learned not to contradict, but to say something positive.It takes a lot of creative thinking. I have some AAQI quilts in mind to do, but only have until Aug. 1st. Living alone I have to do everything. I turned in my taxes today. Our quilt guild makes quilts for 25-35- charities in the area, and I sew school bags for one of our church's missions, and I crochet and knit prayer shawls and baby blanket that are given through our church. I too, hope that there will be another avenue for this little quilts or something else to help contribute to Alzheimers research, and if not there are other ways to make the world a better place. Blessings to you as you continue to travel this road.

I'm fortunate to have bought two that you and Kathie collaborated on, plus one more that will be a gift soon for a daughter. <br />Bless your hands and your heart -- your quilting work has been a wonderful part of the work of the AAQI.

Mine developed dementia with the Parkinson's. She ran the show when I was a kid, and did a great job of it. When the dementia started, it was hard to tell her she was wrong about something, and try to explain it to her. It's tough, isn't it?
