We are Mary’s daughters. We literally grew up with a white picket fence around our house. Our house was beautiful and our mom was the ideal mother. She always had a nice meal on the table and every holiday and birthday was special. When she was diagnosed, we were planning our weddings, starting our careers, and having babies and our mother was starting to lose her memories of us. Nearly a decade later, we are still learning and doing our best every day as we try to keep up with the constant changes of this disease while raising our kids and balancing our careers and personal lives.
We are so lucky to have each other to lean on and to have sisters who always understand what you are going through. We have chosen to write this blog to share our story with those of you who also have a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease so that no one has to go through this alone.
Who we are:
Jenny – I’m the oldest daughter. I have a great husband and two busy boys under age 10. I’m a teacher.
Mindy – I am a wife, mother, and teacher. I love travel, art, and photography.
Betsey – I am a wife, mother of two, and an attorney. I am the youngest daughter.
