My Wish For You

The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer

Alzheimer's Awareness

Another one of my favorite quotes from "Still Alice". It made me cry...

""You're so beautiful," said Alice. "I'm so afraid of looking at you and not knowing who you are."
"I think that even if you don't know who I am someday, you'll still know that I love you."
"What if I see you, and I don't know that you're my daughter, and I don't know that you love me?"
"Then, I'll tell you that I do, and you'll believe me."

"I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today didn't matter." (from Still Alice)

I just finished reading this novel.  Could not put it down.  Lisa Genova does an outstanding job of portraying someone who has Alzheimer's (in this case Early Onset Alzheimer's).   "My yesterdays are disappearing, and my tomorrows are uncertain, so what do I live for?  I live for each day.  I live in the moment.  Some tomorrow soon, I'll forget that I stood before you and gave this speech.  But just because I'll forget it some tomorrow doesn't mean that I didn't live every second of it today.  I will forget today, but that doesn't mean that today didn't matter."

"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. " (Matthew 5:9)
