Three years..wow how does time go so fast? My dad passed away two years ago this month. And earlier this month I had to place mom in a memory care assisted living. It is a wonderful place and she is starting to settle in.
It is nice to hear from you and even nicer to know that there is a bright light on the other side of this tunnel. Be well and be happy.
We are into our 13th year since diagnosis and I wonder whether there really will be a bright side at the end of this journey. I may be too old to enjoy anything then!
So... you did all you could ... now get on and enjoy the rest of your life.

It will be 4 years since my Carl passed away. sometimes seems longer and sometimes like it was yesterday. I am still trying to make sense out of everything but I'm sure in time it will come together.
It is with a heavy heart that I share the news with you that our dear friend Dibbie has passed away 9 months after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. She had remarried a wonderful man whom I met and they had 3 great years together. She passed away on April 29th I believe.
She was a fantastic person and a great support to all of us when we needed it most. I think we had the best group ever on here.
I hope you are all doing well. I will check back in from time to time.
Mother passed away 2 weeks ago after spending her last year in memory care. She is at peace now and so am I. Toughest road I've ever traveled and now I'm trying to get a life of my own once again. So far, so good. There is a real life after all this after all.
May your mom RIP. Huge Gentle Hugs to you.
