Thanks Quadmama, I’m sure caring for quads is like a marathon, too!

Flemisa – Hi, thanks for stopping by! Yes, sometimes I do have to remind myself of these things. That’s the great thing about blogging about this topic. It helps me do a lot of reflection.

I like your marathon analogy… it helps put your experience into perspective for someone like me who has not had to be a caregiver for a parent. (PS, liked your exile post, too but for some reason I couldn’t leave a comment).

shakespeare – Hi! I’m always amazed that such a diverse group of people can relate to dementia and caregiving. What an interesting idea for a play! The mother-daughter relationship has its own dynamics, and when you throw in dementia things can get quite interesting! If you have any specific questions that could help with your project, just let me know.

Yes, I have visited your sister’s blogs quite a bit. I guess it’s a small world out in cyber space, too.

I am so glad I found your website! I’m working on a play right now dealing with a woman caring for her mother (who has dementia), and while Alzheimer’s is not exactly the same thing, the play is really exploring the nature of the caregiver’s role.

I found you from the Today.com exiles page–I’m one as well, as is my sister, Rocket Scientist (http://rockets-r-us.blogspot.com/). I’ve added you to my blog roll, and I plan to go through your past blogs, too, so I can read them.

So glad you are here!
