Brenda S. Parris (Year to Remember)

I was caregiver for my mother who had Alzheimer's for just over a year 1994-1995.  She entered a nursing home just after Christmas 1995 and passed away four months later just a couple weeks after her 80th birthday.  That year, 1996, I started my Web site, A Year to Remember...with my mother and Alzheimer's disease (http://www.zarcrom.com/users/yeartorem/ .   In 2001 my journal, poems, and photos from my web site were published as my book Waiting for the Morning: a Mother and Daughter's Journey through Alzheimer's Disease.   This year I will walk for my 29th consecutive year in memory of my mother with the Alzheimer's Association in the Walk to End Alzheimer's.
