I’ll be keeping this blog up indefinitely in the hopes that it may help someone who is caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease, but this will probably be my last post. (Never say never.) I’ll check it periodically and maybe update the links, but I’m moving to another blog: Songs from a Spiral Tree
I’ve begun the new blog as a writing challenge to myself–I won’t be posting daily but will gather my thoughts on certain topics and compose short essays about them. I’ve lost count of the many blogs I’ve turned to at least once for counsel and answers and entertainment, and I’m hoping I can contribute to the meta-conversation.
My gratitude goes to all who have taken the time to read and comment on this blog. I have made some wonderful friends who have helped me in ways I can’t begin to describe.

Tardy, as usual, and I know I owe you an e, but, finally, I’m back online, again, and just clicked into your new blog, about which I’m very excited! I’m glad you’re keeping this one online. I know it will continue to provide support and inspiration to many.
See you over there, Deb!

I just found this blog. no fair you are leaving. I just started my blog to have something to do and vent. And I need yours to learn from. But good luck with your new one.

Deb,
I wrapped up the blog about my parents, too, just a few weeks ago. A hard but enriching period for all of us, shared, but slowly it is coming to an end. Thank you for what you wrote, and good luck with what you will write.
Mike.

Beautiful, emotive writing and I wish I’d found it sooner.
I have only recently decided to record my journey with my dad recently diagnosed with dementia. I don’t want to focus on the illness but on the person and the things we discover on the way.
Enjoy your new challenge and continuing to be creative.
