Thank you KarlašŸ¤—ā¤ļø My sister and I are looking to find a backup caregiver. I think the hardest part is the unknowable future of the disease. Also the ups and downs are a wild ridešŸŽ¢! I’m trying to live in gratitude and drinking more coffee. ā˜•ļø

@gratia Yes, the future is a worrying , but we really are supposed to try to just live a day at a time. Like you, though, I can’t keep from worrying. Your pictures are beautiful. Wishing you the best.

@gratia I agree totally, about the hardest part is the unknowable future of the disease. What I'm up against too, and frantic over what to do. I have to find someplace else to live, and that frightens me, and I'm not sure why. Look into those nature shots you take like I'm doing right now and I see a field of "hope" in all of this. Your sister is there to help you. Thank God. And you are now looking for a backup caregiver. Thank God. My takeaway, and from someone who posted recently, told me, take what you're dealing with, in small steps, and just chip away. So for me, it's sell my house, clear out my stuff, find another place to live so I can get out of this rental, and get my husband situated in some normal. Small steps, where we conquer one thing at a time. My mantra: Courage to make change, Clarity to know what to do, and God's light helping lead the way. Best, Karla
