    Life is not ever

    what it appears to be

    Church once a week-

    and family pictures deceive

    The surface looks good

    The hugs and the smiles

    But the eyes tell the truth

    The sorrows the trials

    The eyes tell the stories

    know one wants you to know

    the eyes take you places

    no one wants you to go

    So don't be surprised

    if Sheri just looks away

    When shes smiles and tells you

    "We're doing fine today."

    Oh, Sheri, that says it all! God bless and keep us close.

    Well said Sheri. When I smile now, the sides of my mouth turn up, but there are no smiles in my eyes anymore. The light has gone out of them.

    My grandson just hugged me today and as I hugged him and smiled he said"mamaw you smile with your mouth but not with your eyes like you did before Alz. took over you and papaw's lives". Guess some people do notice that IT is taking away pieces of our lives little by little.

    Sherizee,

    I am new here, not so much to reading, but to posting.

    Your words are poignant and powerful and I just want you to know I appreciate them.

    Abby- Thanks for the kind words, I am sorry to hear you need to be here also, but welcome, in a sad way. I also write a blog of my own called "living in the shadow of Alzheimers" with more of the type of thing written here plus alot of laughs. The address is www.sherizeee.blogspot.com if any one is interested.
