I have written my 'memories' in my journal - there are so many many more, but these are the precious ones I wanted to share today.

Louise I enjoyed reading about your beautiful son.. I started to write about mommie but could not get past the first paragraph without sobbing.. it would take forever to write about 60 years of love and caring from my Mommie to me.. D

I know this may be very hard to we caregivers - but even if we cannot write - I think the thought (or spending some time with the memories) has a healing effect and somehow takes some of the 'burden' away. It did for me. But anyone who does not feel they can do it, THAT IS OK. We are all individuals and we are all loving people.

I agree, I believe our thoughts are energy and when we think of someone we send a positive thought out into the world. And for those who have passed away they're just a thought away. Love never dies. Love is an energy we feel. Love's just a word to describe it.

I did this for my mother a few years ago on mother's day, in my domain journal, then printed it out for her. She keeps it by her rocker and reads it every once in awhile. It ALWAYS provokes a very close, intimate evening of more remembering and expressing our feelings for each other. I'm so glad I did this...the rewards never stop.

Mom and I always talk about our memories. We have a good laugh. Mom has alzhmeirs and it helps her to know she is ok. Right now I live with her and this winter she will be living with me in Florida. I hate CT in the winter. If she does fine down there, I may not come back.

I shared some memories of mom and me in the memories 2 post. I wish I could sit and remenice with mom over the things we did together. But they are now only my memories, no longer a part of hers.

i think the problems with memories in our situation is that he does not remember, our 25th anniversary will be soon, and he doesnt remember anyof our years together. once in awhile i share something, but in most parts it bothers him that he cant remember our past. so when i think of lots of things, the great times together i cry
