This is my mom, Deb, about 5 months away from her passing. She was beautiful, caring, kind, and she had early onset Alzheimer's. My eyes are watering in this picture because she knew me and for a second, I had my friend back. Gosh, I miss her so much.
I know that there are people all over the globe who know this journey, but there are still those who don't quite understand. That is why I do my advocacy...to create awareness and understanding for this cruel disease.
The more you know, the better you can fight. The more you know, the more care we can give to those who are struggling. The more you know, the closer we can get to a cure and to finding a survivor.
Feel free to share your Alzheimer's story below. If you're interested in advocacy here in GA, let me know. I can put you in touch with the right people to help you turn your anger into action.

The world unites today for World Alzheimer's Day. People all over the globe are coming together to shine a spotlight on Alzheimer's. Share this post or your connection to the disease to help raise awareness for the fight to #ENDALZ. 🌎💜
Underrated life advice: Be someone people want to share their good news with. Get excited. Hype them up. Make a big deal out of small wins. And never compare it to something you or others have done. We always remember who made the happy moments feel even happier. Be that person.

@willllliam I'm not especially creative, but I do love to bake. I have this feeling every time I make a tasty treat. Bonus if you make enough to share with a neighbor or friend.
I used to love watching stand-up comedy. It doesn't really seem funny anymore. Sitcoms are the same way. SNL is not funny at all.
I don't know if I've changed or it's because I've gotten older and don't get it, but I miss laughing at stuff.
I know it might sound bad but that Auburn loss probably was the best thing that ever happened to us this season. These boys playing with a different mentality on both sides of the ball!!! #GoDawgs
