On November 13, 2010 I gladly became the primary caregiver of my mother. She has Lewy Body Dementia, the second most common memory loss condition after Alzhiemers. I knew nothing about Lewy Body Dementia until I brought Mom to Indiana to live with me. My mother is a resident at the Waters of Covington, a rehabilitation center near our home. I would like to have her live with us but her care is more then one person can provide. The staff at the Waters fell in love with Mom immediately. She may be losing her memory and her ability to care for herself but she hasn't lost her sense of humor or her gentle grace. This blog is meant to be a journal of our days together.



On May 15, 2011 My Mother peacefully and fearlessly passed into the here after. Now I journey alone, yet not alone. I have a lifetime of memories.

I Hate Banks

I deposited two checks refunded to me from the funeral home yesterday. The bank called me just now -- THEY made a mistake and didn't debit our account in April and are taking the money NOW. Everything that the funeral home refunded is gone. I am back to not having gas for the car or the funds to pay a bill that is due tomorrow. UGH!!  What do you do when what God provides is taken away? I am SO dissapointed.

I've had a couple of hours to think and to pray and I feel much better. This little bump in the road has just made me more determined to spend less so we can save more and be better prepared the next time "the sky" decides to "fall". I refuse to be a victim to ANYTHING. It might takes us a little while but we are not going to be here forever.
