When It Started Take 2 The Real Story

Well, at least you had a good laugh at the innocent mistake with the phone number.

Yes, a heart breaking story...so wonderful you have the pictures and story and are scrapbooking them.

oh bless you.
Great story telling.

glad you got to experience our beautiful sunsets here in southern California. The messages on the phone made me laugh. Sorry about your MIL

I so much appreciate your journaling the story (the added details that photos alone cannot tell. Glad you salvaged a bit of humor out of a heartbreaking time.

@ArmyGrl Thank you very much. We did laugh when we heard her angry messages but if I recall correctly, my sister in law was here feeding the cats and she heard it and called Bill to tell him.
@Angela Toucan Thank you so much.
@Trish I love California, I could wander around taking photos all day. Thank you. Alzheimer's is a cruel disease.
@flowersgal Thank you, I generally find humor to be how I deal with stress.

Love that you recorded this, although it sounds so painful. Glad you could laugh about the messages though!

Such an awesome page and heart breaking story telling...

@LynnG Thank you. It's a disgusting disease that you can't fight. She's still here but she's not here. Sigh.
@ajm Thank you, I want to remember her like this now because we barely recognize her now. This disease is a hateful thing.

Big hugs! I have done a lot of personal research on dementia and Alzheimers and really hope we continue to make headway on treatment to stall and/or prevent it. That's funny about the voicemails, I'm glad you got a good laugh out of it. Anyway, thank you so much for playing along with my challenge

@SeattleSheri Thank you! We've been to Seattle and loved it. My cousin lives in Snohomish.
