My heartwarming story! My mom is a wonderful grandmother. I have two boys 16 and 11. She has always been their biggest fan and very involved in their lives. Even though my boys love her and she always has a smile and a hug for my boys. . . she was never a grandmother who played with her grand kids. Now with the disease she is content to play dolls with my four year old daughter. She will play dolls with her for hours! When my daughter knows her grandmother is coming over she gives a forceful fist pump and yells YES!

What are your heartwarming stories?

  1. My grandmother died last week at the age of 91, she had Alzheimer's Disease and was in decline for the last 2 years. She was an amazing woman. One way we dealt with this disease was to rallying the entire family to remember for her. We would plan and have celebrations about her life. Sometimes she had no idea what was going on, but we did it anyway. It was a way for us to recreated who she was in spirit and that helped us stay connected to who she was.
