56 Years Young

We celebrated my mom's birthday last night...

I hope she has a great birthday today! If any of you go to church with us, you probably know my Grandma Hodges has Alzheimer's. I've been reading books about the disease, and I've learned some interesting things. For one, their development regresses in almost the same way as an infant grows. Also, while a child hasn't yet formed inhibitions, those with dementia lose their inhibitions. It's definitely been hard watching my grandma slip away, and I pray for my grandad who has been with her every step of the way.
