    About Me

    Dad recently passed away of late stages of PD and CHF. He had dementia too, that was the worst to deal with. It was very sad. Who was I every day when I walked in or would he be mad or happy to see me? Now: Quit my substituting job of 12 years and I'm returning to school! Need to fill my time w/something besides the grandkids and my own kids at home. I feel a little lost..midlife crisis now that Dad's gone?? Not sure. I love the smell of my horse and the sound of her whinny when I come outside. I love my 2 dogs. Baseball is my fav sport. I recently got a Chrysler Sebring Convertible and I'm having fun with that.

    Interests

    Anything my kids do! Marching band, football, baseball. Grandkids happiness, dance classes, gymnastics, mickey mouse! Hawaii is my fav place on earth. I sell on ebay. I workout but I hate it, UG! I love surfing the internet it's how I found DS and boy do I need DS. The afterlife...God, heaven, angels, the bible.

      Sharon, Wanted you to know that Mom DAD laugh at your comment on my journal. Thank you so much. It seemed to make her feel a lot better hearing about others who have issues as well. When I say it I think she just thinks I'm trying to make her feel better which is true too but I DO forget stuff and have my issues with anything electronic, ugh! She had a much better day yesterday and we're off to a good start today. Gonna schedule the nails for later this week. Hope you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for your prayers too. I KNOW they make such a difference. Love and hugs, Kim

      Type: Loss of a Parent

      Dad recently passed away and although I'm an adult my Dad had dementia and PD so the end result was not peaceful. He had become "crazy", hateful toward me usually which hurt a lot. Def. not my Dad. It's been hard to remember him when he was happy and he really loved me. I did everything for his good, cared for him for 9-1/2 years.
