Just for today. Around you it is everyday you spread your love. What an awesome poem and what a lucky Pearl. God Bless. Liz

Just for today... for the now Pearl inhabits, be it for a fleeting instant or an hour... This touches me deeply, the love and beauty you are able to share in the NOW, irrespective of what seems to be faded or lost or hopeless. Her beauty shines within the picture and your words... and your enfolding love for her within the honour, respect and affection of this poem. Love enfolds you both in the moment... but forever. Great write, Rose. Bless you, Kate xx

You truly are one of those angels, Rose. Thank you for sharing these sentiments. Love and best wishes to you,

Rose every elder would be blessed to be loved by such a heart as yours. What a gorgeous poem Rose, brought tears to my eyes.

This poem it’s truly beautiful
I felt your love and sadness through each line
I hate the word Alzheimer’s it brings so much pain to so many
Yet your words touched my heart
Pearl will be on my daily prayers
Beautiful tribute writing from the heart!!
Peace Love and Light…and hugsss too…Morning Star

A truly heartfelt piece, Rose.

Very nice!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Dear Rose. What a wondeful tribute to Pearl. I brought tears to my eyes. Its a devastating disease. I have Alzheimers . My medications are slowing it down and I'm alright at the present time.. Bless you for sharing....M

This poem is a tribute to your friend and a reminder to the rest of us about where we should spend more time.

"Life is too short for regrets." A fitting way to end this poem. May it stay in all of our minds - as words of wisdom to never forget.

God Bless You!

Words of purity and truth straight from your loving heart. Pearl is so full of sunshine, all that is good and her glow reaches far and wide. God bless both you and her....

Be always safe,
Karen

What a darling poem and she is such a doll, I want to hug her...

A sad disease and Tom's mother died of it, and so many are getting it. They do ask the same questions over and over again. Much care must be given them and very watchful over them. This lady is amazing holding her stuffed animal. Glad you shared her with us. My prayers go out to you and Pearl tonight. She is also a pearl of great price, that came to mind as an ending.

This is absolutley beatiful Rose,,My Husbands Aunt Ophelia who raised him does not recongnize him now,, as she suffers from Alzheimers,, truly so sad.
Love, Christine

A profound and beautiful write my friend. My mom is a caregiver for a long time family friend who was also my fourth grade teacher, not to mention my favorite teacher. She also suffers from alzheimers disease. It's such a sad disease...she is eighty six and physically does very well, she actually loves to talk about the old days, I mean the really old days of when she taught in one room schools. She can tell every detail, the dates, children...but will ask the same question a dozen times in an hour. Your write is wonderful and heartfelt, your warm spirit shines through with every word! Well done!
Blessings,
Joyce B.

A wonderful picture and poem, Rose. What a gift her pleasant spirit is! Your warm heart is very evident in the way you have written about your Pearl.

Love,
Connie

Beautiful write Rose. I could feel myself there with you wanting to give Pearl a hug too. Very well done my friend. God bless.

The caretakers are angels that God sends to those whose mind has been stolen and you are one of them. Great pic and poem. Its true this disease brings out the violent side in some but they are not aware of what they are doing or saying.

Sweet write about a cruel, unforgiving disease! Such a tragedy Alzheimer's is! Very well written/illustrated, Rose; brava!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

As this write and the picture that accompanies it are of my dear mother in law I especially was touched by this write. Pearl lived with us for over twenty years till here illness forced us to have to put her into the nursing home where she now resides. She was a mentor, a friend, a drinking buddy at times and a dam good card player. Thanks Rose for honouring her so with this write.
hugs Fee

This is so touching. It reminds me of my mother who also had Alzeimer's holding on to her stuffed rabbit. Beautiful

A very tender write indeed, Rose!
