Mom's Journey

Book Cover & Preview Text
I went to Wisconsin for Mother's Day: I knew this would be her last one. When I was up there in May, Mom asked Pa as they were walking to their bedroom, "Who is that lady?" Pa told her, "That's our oldest daughter, Margie, from Texas." "How is she our daughter?' And Pa said, "She's been our daughter for sixty-one years." Mom just couldn't figure it out. I cried softly, so they wouldn't hear me. I'm now a nice lady to my mother.

About the Book
I wrote this book in memory of my mom, who had Alzheimer's for over ten years. For the last six years, mom struggled with trying to hide it, believing she was going crazy and became paranoid with everyone. I dedicate this book to my Pa who took care of Mom all those years by himself. For the last couple of years, his life was on hold, totally dedicating every moment to her. His words to me were "For better or worse to death do us part." He kept his vows to mom to the end. Pa, I'm very proud of you and love you.
