Both my mother and father were diagosed with Alzheimer's at the same time. I was their sole caregiver.
*The Beast* You came in the day, crept into the night. You stole their memories, extinguished their light. Leaving me alone as their caregiver. You came in the day, crept into the night. You stole their hug and kisses, robbing their life. Leaving me in fear as their caregiver. You came in the day, crept into the night. You took their beautiful home, they built all alone. Leaving me angry as their caregiver. You came in the day, crept into the night. You took away my loves, the light of my life. Leaving me crying as their caregiver. You’ll come in the day, and creep into the night. Until there’s a cure, you’ll extinguish more light. Leaving them alone as their caregiver. You’re the Beast – Alzheimer’s.

Very powerful and filled with raw emotion! I dread whats ahead of my husbansd, son and myself. We're all in the early stages. God Bless and don't give up. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel....M

EXCELLENT WRITE THAT DESCRIBES YOUR FEELINGS WELL. AND THAT IS WHAT THE TERRIBLE DISEASE OF ALZHEIMER'S DOES BUT, THANK GOD THEY HAD YOU AND THANK GOD...EVEN IF NOT FOR AS LONG AS YOU WOULD HAVE LIKED...YOU KNEW THEM AND WAS ABLE TO ENJOY THEIR LOVE THAT THEY HAD FOR YOU. THANKS FOR SHARING AND BLESSINGS. JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS
