I am a fulltime caregiver for my mom who is in the last stage of Alzheimer's . My blog gives you tips that I have learned myself from caring for mom or tips I have gotten from books or other caregivers. It is also a way to vent sometimes when I have a bad day.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ok, This is the first holiday without mom. In less you count Halloween .
