This is a dedication to my husband who is having a hard time since I was recently diagnosed with early stage Alzhimer. He loves me so much and he is worried about that day when I get really bad and I may not know him.

Hugs, Nicole

Why are they tip toeing around this room I wonder who they are and what they want Sometimes they scare me with the needles I like that kind man that comes in and smiles I see something in his eyes that appear sad After a while, I let him hold my hand and sit He talks of people, telling me all about them Sometimes, I feel a stir in my mind about them Just a rose will do, I tell this man who came in I always love roses, but not sure how I know He doesn't seem to understand me; it's a rose Anyone knows what a rose is, it's that red thing He tried to kiss me but I turn my head everytime I don't know him enough for that lip stuff he wants A tear in his eyes like I always see as he leaves Something inside me breaks but not sure what All I want to do is call that man back to hold me I don't remember his name right now; I'm so tired I close my eyes and everything turns cloudy white Next person I see is Jesus welcoming me home I remember it all now, goodbye precious husband

It is scary to think about Alzheimer's. This poem is Frightening to think about, but is inspirational for people who may have to face such questions. I hope research finds something soon. Good read and wish you well.

Wow! My Mum had dementia, not the same but similar. She didn't know me, thought I was her brother or my Dad. I looked for a hug or a kiss or an 'I love you' but it wasn't there. I was looking in the wrong place. Don't look with your mind, it's not part of your spirit. Look with your heart' cos that's where all truth lies, it is God's Temple. Tears for this write. Love in Jesus Name. D.
