TODAY IS FILLED WITH HAPPY THOUGHTS, AND HAPPY LONG OVER DUE REUNIONS! MY JAPANESE SON IS IN TOWN AND IS TAKING ME OUT TO LUNCH. I CALL HIM MY SON, BECAUSE I WAS NOT ONLY HIS HOST MOTHER, BUT I PLANNED HIS WEDDING, HIS HONEYMOON, AND THEN HELPED TEACH HIS LOVELY WIFE WHO ALSO STAYED WITH ME, HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH.
REMEMBER I WAS A HOST MOM FOR 11 YEARS, BEFORE MY HUSBAND MIKE GOT SICK WITH ALZHEIMER'S, AND THEN I BECAME A FULL TIME CAREGIVER.
MY DEAR SISTER ALSO HAD TO BECOME A FULL TIME CARE GIVER WHEN HER HUSBAND ALSO DEVELOPED ALZHEIMER'S. THAT IS WHY WE NOT ONLY DO THE ALZHEIMER'S WALK EVERY YEAR, BUT DO OUR BEST ALL YEAR LONG. TO RAISE FUNDS AND AWARENESS ABOUT THIS TERRIBLE DISEASE. LAST YEAR WE CAME IN FIRST PLACE IN RAISING MORE FUNDS THEN ANY OTHER TEAM IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, AND HAD 63 PEOPLE JOIN US AND OUR FAMILY ON THE WALK. BTW, THAT WAS ALSO MORE PEOPLE WALKING ON OUR TEAM (BONELLI-HAYES) THAN ANY OTHER TEAM!!
EVERYDAY IS SUCH A GIFT. I WISH MORE PEOPLE COULD SEE THE GLASS HALF FULL. WHILE WE HAVE LIFE, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE. WHY WASTE A MOMENT BEING SAD OR DEPRESSED? CONCENTRATE ON YOUR MANY BLESSING, AND SMILE. YOU WILL FEEL BETTER, AND SO WILL ALL THOSE YOU MEET. HAVE A VERY BLESSED DAY! LINDA-OUT
