Forget Me Not

This week-end heaven gained another angel

as my Aunt Dot got her wings

and went home...

born Dorothy Ann

my Dad's oldest sister

started with Aphasia a few years ago

then went into Alzheimer's disease

she was the most like my Grandmother Stiles

she was a tremendous cook

loved to garden ~ her flowers were always so beautiful

she was the family patriarch I suppose

the oldest of 5 

Alzheimer's scares the living crap out of me

they say it is not hereditary 

but personally I don't believe it

as it took my grandmother and one of her sisters

that's 2 out of 3

then on to my Dad's generation

and 2 out of 5 either have it

or signs of it....so far

at least I know Aunt Dot is well again

and I betcha the party at the big farm in heaven

was quite a celebration on Saturday!

Mom is doing so good

if she keeps going like she has been

I think she will be home by next week-end.

Hoping your week-end has been full of more smiles 

than tears.
