My husband was diagnoised with Alzheimers , plus some form of dementia in Aug. 2008. I was told I had Alzheimers in May 2007.
This poem is an attempt at some dry Irish humor
We try to remember
the little things in daily life
If I forget something,
I'll ask him once or twice
Did I do this,
where'd I put that
Oh I forgot to tell you,
the car has a flat
Patiently he tells me,
the things I need to know
I try to do the same for him ,
especially when he's watching
a TV show
He'll ask me who that person is ,
I'll say thats so and so
He's always been in show biz,
or on that special show
I guess we're kind of lucky
there are two brains, instead
of one
We still can enjoy the little
things, have some home time fun
So count your blessings every day
as to travel lifes curving road
You'll never know until its your turn,
to help carry A heavy load
I have to admit this was totally sad. My wife just completed a course on this subject.and i wrote a little number about it myself.

Not so dry, a tear in many eyes. But a wonderful descriptive that I can relate to, and perhaps can have more patience with mother. Thanks for the humor on a tough subject. Patrick
You are brave woman to be able to humor this awful disase. That takes real class. To be able to laugh at one's self. That's something I never learned to do. Kudos to you.
Homer's Ill Iliad & Odd Sea Odyssey (420 pages) is an adult satire/parody rewrite of the classic stories of the 10 year Trojan War and of the 10 year adventure of Odysseus trying to return home to his native Ithaca.
