Your story has brought tears but also smiles as I glimpsed some of the happiness shining out from their wedding photos.I know how difficult this must be for both you and your mother as I support another friend who is making this journey with her family at this time.<br />I'm so glad that your memory book continues to be a source of comfort for your father and mother,each in their own way.<br />I'm also glad that their love brought you back to one of your loves,needlework, and that we have all been enriched by that.

My FIL was lost in dementia at the end of his life and it is an exquisite type of pain to lose someone - while they are still right in front of you to see and touch and love. I can only imagine how it is for your mother after all their years together. You are all very strong to bear it. The memory book is something that will be handed down and cherished for many, many years to come, I'm sure. It's beautiful.

So so sweet, and what a wonderful album.<br /><br />My mother also has Lewy Body Dementia. Well, she has dementia and the last neurologist she saw told her it was Lewy Body. I don't know exactly how they diagnose that since from what I read it can only be diagnosed via autopsy, but that is what they tell us. It is sweet when every now and then she recognizes my dad. She does not know me anymore either which at times is very hard, but I have tried to accept it for what it is.<br /><br />Take care my friend...we will pray for your mom and dad.LoriUhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265236304799855177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2293399242092873784.post-64640452774175064712013-07-15T12:21:31.111-04:002013-07-15T12:21:31.111-04:00Such a beautiful post Carol, I know deep in my hea...Such a beautiful post Carol, I know deep in my heart what you and your mother are going through , you are such a lovely daughter, and you know your parents are proud of you, sending best wishes to you all.
