This is a card I am sending to my oldest brother Jim. Jim suffered a heart attack 5 yrs ago. He was a truck driver for a bread company. Because of the physical work involved he had to retire this year at the age of 53.
My Aunt Wanda was in a nursing home and passed away at the age of 93. Her last 15 yrs she suffered with Alzheimers.
Jim felt that he is too young to just sit and do nothing so he has started with a program where he goes to the house of families caring for their loved ones with Alzheiers. He goes there to give them some time to run errands or to just relax. He then takes care of their loved ones. He said he feels fortunate enough to be able to have his health to do this.
I admire him so much for helping touch so many lifes.
I am participating in World AlzheimerÂ’s Day and an event that Carolyn King (Cammie) is hosting. See her blog for more details. http://myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/2...log-candy
