Hi! I'm back!!

Wow what a time.
For those who recall and those who don't know, I left at the end of May to go look after my mother inlaw who suffers from alzheimer's.What a horrible disease. I really can't say who I feel worse for, those who have it, or those who have to watch someone they love suffer through it.
What got me through the last 5 weeks was starting and ending every day with these 2 grandbabies!
I got home and introduced myself to hubby and then spent 2 days doing Nothing!Today I racked what wines needed doing and topped some airlocks.

Now I have to spend a few nights catching up here!

How adorable!

What a couple of sweeties!

I know what you are saying about Alzheimer's! My mother in law had it, she passed away this last May. And my husband and I are still dealing with the after math. The only good thing is she is no longer suffering and suffer she did. She thought her husband, my father in law was trying to kill her because he had a girlfriend living upstairs. She lived the last 4 or 5 years in fear and this man loved her so much.

My father just passed last week and for the last 2 1/2 years he did not know anyone. It was especially hard on my mother who still had to see him in the long term care home and look after everything on her own. As is said, you loose your husband twice. Once to the disease and once to the man upstairs. At least she was able to have everything transferred over to her so what comes next will be allot easier.

cheers

I feel you. My Dad has Parkinson's and, like Alzheimer's, it is a filthy thief that robs your loved one of the most precious thing ever. The soul.

My prayers go out to you....

Welcome back Kim! It's nice to "hear" your voice online again.
Love to you and the family (and those gorgeous grandbabies!!)

You did good... Welcome back!

Welcome back

Welcome home. Even though I bet your heart is still with your family.

Absolutely! My heart is always with family.I did leave with a mess of mixed emotions. Teary eyed to be leaving yet so needing to get home.

you deserve a break today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty babies! My mom has had alzheimer's for 10 years. I just got back from seeing her at the nursing home. My brother and I go and see her every week. It's a labor of love but it's hard seeing her that way. Welcome back!

my mom's oldest sister is in the final stages of that, my mom takes care of her, my heart and my prayers goes out to you , her and your entire family,,,
may god bless you one and all,,,

My heart is heavy from your story. I wish you only happiness.

@ vernsgal
I really know what you are going thru - it is really tough !!

My mother at 74 years old with diabetes type 1, left my father and put in for a divorce. She is also dealing with other issues as well -

Yes it can be overwhelming at the least - but it is people on this forum that help me make it from day to day - Thanks everyone !!
