Lizzie is an amazing person, and I know she is a great sister to you, and loves u to pieces as I know u do too. That is a neat story about the mail. I am sure she will never forget the mail and the things she loves to do. I know that she probably does miss you and will always miss you no matter what. I was born with a rare life threatening disease, and I love when others sign my guestbook. www.miraclechamp.webs.comSmilen Champhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312018180245012719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3097472502850307702.post-43146825334681580552011-05-28T16:27:35.240-07:002011-05-28T16:27:35.240-07:00Hannah is BEAUTIFUL!

I can't begin to know how you are feeling but I can imagine that scared does not begin to describe your feelings. Feelings that would be so normal for anyone in your situation. I think of you often as you and Lizzie continue down this dark and lonely road.

You have quite a lot on your shoulders my friend. I pray for your strength and guidance during these dark and lonely days. I hope you are able to find a placement you are comfortable with for your sister and that you may get some much needed respite.

It's just in his nature, but I had a talk with him, and he realized (probably through his own pain) that it was making things worse for everyone, not better. Things changed drastically after that. I never heard about ARE, but it's wonderful.

As the mother of a young child with Down syndrome (although she's an only child, and will remain as such), and the granddaughter to two grandmothers who have/had Alzheimer's/dementia, I feel that your story is important for me to follow, and I appreciate so much that you blog about it.

Your journey has been one of great joy, happiness and sorrows as the years have passed by. I am so sorry to hear of the current state of affairs but also amazed at the productive life Lizzie has been able to accomplish. My prayers go out to you and sis as there are big decisions to be made toward Lizzie's care and Dr. Yiota's peace of mind and knowing that the right things have been done.
