I just finished this book. It really makes you think. Who are the people that had the impact in your life and changed it forever more? If you have read this book, you know it isn't the people you would think it is. I have been going over this in my mind, the answers are not that obvious. One definitely is. For my 5th person , I chose Joan. If not for her and this website I could not have made it through the past 5 years. I learned how to be a caregiver. I learned how to still love a sometimes unlovable husband. I learned how to handle the death when it did come. I learned more than I ever wanted to know about AD. I learned that I could get comfort and strenghth from people I have never even met. Thank you.
Thank you very much - it is an honor to have been so helpful to you. I just read the summary of the book, and it sounds wonderful. For those who wish to order it - http://astore.amazon.com/wwwthealzheim-20/detail/0786868716
I am leaving this thread as is, but am adding your comments to the book recommendations thread.
You are so right Coco and we will have a great time. Joan will have the biggest wings with a very special halo...we will know who it is the minute we see her.
