Prelude

I've spent most of the day today deciding how I'm going to help myself through this illness. I looked up support groups, looked up counselors, but in the end, I decided that I really just need a voice. I need to be heard, I need to get this out, off my chest.
What better way to do that then to just write. I am at the computer daily anyhow, and it's an easy way to let those around me keep in touch, while maybe connecting with someone else going through the same battle.
So you if you are wondering, it's not me that has Alzheimer's, it's my mom.
My story will begin with some background and history, and then I'll catch everyone up to date in the next few days. I have vowed to myself to try to write each day, throughout this journey. Who knows, maybe one day I'll appreciate this record of what I went through.
