In writing this story about my father, whom I cared for in his last stages of Alzheimers, you will experience along with me, the many episodes of emotional and physical occurrences that so affected all our lives. Caring for a family member was not only the hardest caregiver position I ever had but it was heart-wrenching and sometimes the ability to take care of myself, putting me at risk for anxiety, depression and issues with my own physical health.
