Here is my card for this week's teapot party! Oooh, this one was very close to home. As some of you might already know my mom (72) has been living with alzheimer's for almost 12 years now. It's not been easy but we have had some time to adjust...do you ever. If not, we live with it as alot of us I know. The best thing to help me cope with it, is to remember my mom as she used to be. Vibrant, playful and so much love for her grandkids!
Thank you for looking and enjoy the day
My card is for the ladies at the center that take care of her there.
