About Me
I am happily married to an incredible and amazing man. Only child. Lost my Daddy on September 26, 2007. He was and will forever be my hero, my champion and the first man I ever loved. I miss him more than words could ever express. I have a beautiful, loving, wonderful Mom who is having a very hard time with everything related to Parkinson's (and now Dementia) and it has definitely taken it's toll on her over the past 2 years. She is living with us and I am trying to find anything I can to help her. I just lost my little Sasha on August 23, 2008 - she is a dog but she is my kid since I was never able to have children. She was 15, the most loving and loyal dog on this earth and with me thru thick and thin. I miss her so very much. I have two great stepkids who live with us 3 days a week.

Hi Kimmie,
So nice to hear from you, but sorry your Mom is having all that trouble. My Dad has been in the hospital again, as well and hopefully we will get some results from tests today. Weather is really chilly. Looking forward to January and Florida. Take care. Write when you have the time. Love, Dawn-

Hi Kim. I know the anniversary date of your Dad's death was a few days ago. Was it a hard day for you? What did you do? How is your Mom doing? I think about you often. Sending you lots of hugs & prayers, love, CHeryl

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ParentI'm an only child. I lost my Daddy on 9/26/07 at 5:30 p.m. We were so very close. My parents and I used to visit a few times a week & speak a few times a day. The downward spiral began on 12/12/06 and he fought so very hard. I was with him almost everyday, including his last. I was blessed to have had the most amazing Dad. I miss him more than any words could ever express. I wish I could hear his voice, kiss his cheek, hug him, hold his hand & tell him I love him one more time.
Close Parkinson's Disease
My Mom is 78, diagnosed with PD in 2000. She always could and would do anything and everything until her fall in June, 2006. It's been progressing rapidly since. She is very sad and no matter what I can't bring her happiness. From what I keep reading I believe she is Stage 4 now. She lives with us since we lost Daddy, her husband of 43 years. I am her sole caregiver. She was just diagnosed (9/08) with PD dementia as well. Just looking for tips, knowledge and help for Mom and me.
