Next Steps
“Time and tide wait for no man.” wrote Geoffrey Chaucer. Time and tide; the clock ticks regardless of any individual schedule, and the oceans move about at their bidding. It has been two and a half years since my husband Richard went home to be with The LORD. Whether an open bleeding flesh wound or […]
CHRISTMAS TREASURE
On Christmas Eve in 1994, an article along with several photographs appeared in the local newspaper that caught my eye. The title of the article read, “Treasured Chest.” Below the title was written these words, “Keepsake. A father’s gift of time and know-how opens daughter’s eyes to worlds of possibilities.” At this time in my […]
Reconciling Time
It was time to go to sleep. I walked over to my hotel window to take one last look before crawling into bed. As I pushed the curtain back, it was as though the clock was also being pushed back to another time, a time over fifty years ago when life was much simpler, and […]
Navigating Beyond Alzheimer’s Disease

What’s On Your “Hard Drive?”
We live in a digital world. It is almost impossible to escape this reality. I am sure you can relate to my frustration when these inventions of wonder fail to work as designed. Few of us have the expertise and knowledge to fix technical problems when they present themselves. It does not matter if our […]
Chapter Five – Healing Words or Hurting Words?
You didn’t just say that, did you? When life circumstances fall out of what we like to consider the norm, which can be anything from sickness to financial difficulties, even well-meaning friends find it challenging to know how to respond to our plight. In an attempt to smooth over the awkwardness, it is tempting to […]
When everyone has gone home
Please don’t go! I would think to myself as the last person left for the day from our home. When the door would close behind them, I felt very alone. Every day around nine o’clock in the morning, friends, family and house staff would begin to gather in our home. Because our house is large, having […]
