Yes, I agree. Few things prepare us for the role reversal and it seems so strange at first. However, I learned to enjoy Mother and Auntie as they journeyed through their Alzheimer's world. There were frustrations, disappointments, but rewards, too. My daughter and her children's lives are richer, as well, by caring for these ladies. The memories are often bittersweet, but this was a stage in their lives that I hoped we made easier for them. Thank you, Era, for stopping by and sharing. Yes, I agree.

Few things if any prepare you for this sort of role reversal. Your service has been a blessing. I too found myself in the position of caring for my parents and young children at the same time.
