Sharing a story I’d written a year ago on World Alzheimer’s Day, today. To see someone you love lose their memory and forget their name, their age, their family, you, who love them is distressing. It takes a toll on the caregiver. So, if you’ve been a caregiver or know someone who is, do support them in any manner you can.

Thank you so much dear Manja. It’s one of my very few attempts at story writing. 🙂

I watched helplessly as my parents’ marriage withstood Alzheimer’s. My mother’s courage and strength was inspiring, but it took a toll on her health. It taught me lessons I didn’t know I would need.
As women, our skill and capacity for mothering moves backward as well as forward through the generations of family.-
I’m sorry to hear of your dad, Jo. I understand it must have been extremely difficult for your mom. I know how it is to see your mom brave- it teaches lessons in more ways than any school can teach. I saw my mom battle with cancer with a smile. It’s amazing the amount of strength some people show in times of adversity. Thank you Jo for sharing your experience. I feel connected despite the distance and never meeting 🙂 X

You have such a talent for putting these things into words Smitha! I may not get to your blog every day, but I am always inspired by your words and painting when I get here.

Thank you for your very kind words, Jo. They’re so encouraging, especially since this is one of my very few attempts at story writing. I’ve written precisely three and this is one of them. I look forward to your opinion on my painting and my posts because they’re filled with wisdom and positivity. XXX
