I've been reading Where the Light Gets In by Kimberly Williams Paisley. Her mom had Primary Progressive Aphasia which is a rare form of Dementia.
Seriously when I say I felt such a connection to Kim and her story - it isn't an overstatement. Even down to the personal stories about her moms behavior, I felt they were mine in similarity.
I feel like I finally am reading a book where someone GETS it.
That said, only tomorrow is Giving Tuesday. In reading Kim's book I began reading various sites (some I've already been to, but started reading in a different light) and it has made me appreciate what I have that much more. So after all the "thankfuls" of Thanksgiving, the shopping madness of Black Friday, let's remember to give back.
Some of my favorites are listed below:
St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital
Michael J. Fox Foundation
Alzheimer's Foundation
