I loved this. Thank you so much for sharing. My uncle had Alzheimer's and my Dad is his twin, he's had cognitive decline and in assisted living but is doing very well right now. Thank you for sharing your journey. I went through chemical menopause for breast cancer but - I am on other end. I absolutely took whatever I needed to sleep - bc I know I can't function without it so it was helpful to read that part. I try not to go too far into the what ifs.. in fact my oncologist told me to stay off the internet during treatment 😂
Right now we r going on a family vacation. Im very excited my kids r young adults and im blessed to have a relationship with them that they still want to be around their parents . Love your writing style! Look forward to more
I'm intrigued by the NYT 10 minute art experiment - have you read 4,000 Weeks by Oliver Burkeman? If so, you'll know what I'm referring to with his art experiment. If not, I'll tell you about it :)
I reread 4,000 Weeks at the start of 2026 and it’s so full of useful nuggets. He does an experiment based on a Harvard art studies requirement where he has to stare at one piece of art for 4 hours. No phones, no pens, no devices, nothing. Toilet breaks are allowed.
I tried this little experiment in late January and will eventually get round to writing about it. It was illuminating for sure!

I’m sorry to hear about your uncle and dad! It’s a difficult disease, to say the least. I’m glad your dad is doing well in AL though. That’s a relief!
Great advice from your doctor. Haha.
Enjoy your holiday and time with the kids!
