Big crocodile tears of Thanksgiving for your words....the energy you used to write this is evidence of your deep love for all of "us caregivers" Aka...best friends! This is a great journey and the saddest one of my life. It is a journey with so many unpredicted twists and turns that only someone with unquestionable, unconditional love could walk. The highs are amazing (those moments where personality returns) and the lows are deep struggles trying to understand how to help.
Larry, you are a great gift to so many of us. Grateful that God has allowed you to hold on to the ability to write about your journey "from the inside" while those of us "on the outside" reap the benefit of your words while we learn how to better understand the LBD journey we walk. It is quite probable that our hearts will continually enlarge as we reap the rewards of making the most of moments.
Prayers of Thanksgiving for you and the Mayo Clinic Connect that brings so much hope, encouragement amd strength to face each unpredictable day!
