@vcawnjo08 "I am here" is so powerful and kind to many of us who continue to reach out on this site for support, help and guidance. With family members living their own lives, busy with kids, and the few friends, that just turn the other cheek to someone's memory loss, I'm working on creating as many memories with my husband as I can. For Father's Day, I went into storage (since we're living out of boxes in a rental), and pulled out a box that belonged to him, his family, baby pictures, his deceased parents and 4 brothers. I can't even begin to describe the joyful look on his face, and the emotion he showed, in a mind where on any given day, there are blank stares and confusion. I even put together a shadow box of some of those pictures for his youngest son (we're a blended family), to take with us to North Carolina this week. We spent hours going through pictures, reminding me, that sometimes the simpler things - depending upon what stage they're in - communicates volumes. Life through family pictures just like that documentary "Alive Inside," where music became the catalyst for an awakening for a man lifeless in his wheelchair, who heard the music, woke up, and started tap dancing his feet to the music. He remembered every step from his younger years on Broadway. I think for us as caregivers, moving off the grief to some memory that resonates, so we can find the joy that comes from what @memoriestomoments posted on this site. Seeing our younger days with family in that hidden box of treasure, lit up my husband in ways that made him feel so good. And for that, no grief, no worries, just a feel-good Father's Day. Best, Karla
