My mom died late spring 2017 at age 87, almost 88. She was old but actual cause of death was dementia – likely Alzheimer’s Disease.

I treasure and trust in my thinking brain.
Dementia seems to occur in my family. Despite my efforts to be healthy, perhaps my brain will also succumb to this evil disease.
This frightens me after wholly participating in Mom’s care these past few years.

Meanwhile, I treasure my brain and the messages it sends to the rest of my body including but not limited to (and in no particular order) being upright without falling, driving, swallowing, conversing, taking pleasure in social activities, cooking, recognizing and actively loving my darling husband and family. I am mindful of a healthy brain interacting with a healthy body. Thank God.
