First thing to say is ' thank you ' to everyone who takes the time to read my meanderings.... I appreciate the time you put into clicking on this blog !
My parents came round for a bbq last night and brought my aunty with them who is visiting from the UK. She isn't actually a blood aunty, she is an old family friend actually, and was my dad's first girlfriend when he was 13. However, I had an ache in my heart the whole time as she is in the stages of early onset alzheimer's. She knows she is, and the frustration she has when she loses words or forgets something is so sad to see. She has tears in her eyes and I wish I could do something, you know, wave the magickal witchy wand or something to help her. I last saw her three years ago and there was no sign of it then. I guess many changes can take place in that time, hey I know they can, things can change in a split second can't they ? She lost her husband a few years ago and has lived alone since, so I guess that doesn't help either.... if anyone knows anything that might be useful to pass on to her, I welcome suggestions... more later chaps and chappesses !
