    • About Me

      Daughter and caregiver for Father with Parkinson's, PTSD and Dementia. I came close to snapping as I tried to do everything to please everyone. Found out that life should just be a lot more simple and joyful and while bad days will continue to come, I'm going to try to focus on the good ones for awhile.

      Laughing, building things, spending time with family, singing and dancing to old Motown music (only in private!), drawing, writing, volunteering, reading and trying to not miss out on any of the good things in life! OH, I almost forgot my most favorite, travelling anywhere...especially to the ocean, where I find total peace.

    • Close Dementia

      I have been caring for my Father in his home with my Mother for over 10 years. He has Parkinson's and Dementia along with very limited eyesight left. I recently had to move him to a nursing facility when he needed constant attention and it took a major toll on my Mother's health. I'm sad, lonesome, overwhelmed and feel like the hurt will never end. I'm hoping to find others to share information with to help through this process.
