It is November again. How time flies. Sometimes holidays can be so sad. You think of the fun you had with your loved one, in the past, and you are hurting because you can't do the same things anymore. Their Alzheimer's is stopping them from having a conversation with you, and it is hard for them to get around. Try to be creative during your holiday season. Make a few hours to spend with your loved one, on their level before your holiday. That way when you spend your holiday away from them you won't feel so guilty. They don't know what day it is anymore. So spend Thanksgiving with them when ever it is possible for you, and sit with them, and talk with them, and have turkey with them. Than on Thanksgiving you won't feel so guilty that you didn't spend any of the holiday with them. Also I am a camera freak, so I suggest that you take a picture of that special time. You will want it later, believe me. If ever you need to talk please write me. I will try to answer or give any advice as needed. Have a great week.

Sincerely,
