My 91 year old mother-in-law Joan and I have been friends for 40 years now. When I married Wayne I was only 22. I grew up in a not so good situation. I have not spoken to my parents in over 30 years. Joan guided me whenever I needed a friend, or Mom. So it's no surprise to my husband that we agreed to move in with her to keep her happy in her home. She was diagnosed with having Alzheimer’s 6 years ago. Moving in to comfort her at times of confusion and fear has been hard and rewarding at times. Most times now she won't know who we are, or where she's at, but seeing her smile does my heart good knowing I'm there for her as she was there for me.
