For all those who have only known her recently, I can vouch for all that you've said. As recently as 3 years ago she had total control over her life and work.<BR/><BR/>Alzheimers is in many ways the cruelest end. It helped me with my Dad to think of him as two people. The brilliant, creative man who raised me. And the dear, child-like person he became. I could grieve the former while still caring for the latter.Lisa Lowe Staufferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090764011750627694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259217.post-46215656751500383042008-11-14T00:40:00.000-08:002008-11-14T00:40:00.000-08:00This is so hard, Sage.

But I am glad so many of her best features are still going strong in you, her strong and wonderful daughter.<BR/><BR/>I also can't believe she is 83.
