To strong women
And the men that step up to the plate.
My friend's mum has Alzheimer's and for the last 3 years she has
watched the woman who bore her become a shadow of herself.
She was telling me earlier she cannot even swallow her medication now.
Even the doctor,during the last visit,more or less told her this is it.
And still,she wakes up every morning to change,cook and bathe her.
Her devotion has not wavered.
And she still hopes.
For more time.With the woman who she couldn't stand during her teens.
Her youngest brother has been a solid rock.
He's paid the bills without complaining,borrowed,overdrawn to buy medication,spent
countless nights at the hospital and slept on the carpet in his mother's
house during the tough days.When his sisters had reached their breaking point.
I salute you all.
God bless you
