Benazir Bhutto and Alzheimer's

[Guest guest]

hello all.

i just thought it was interesting that while Benazir Bhutto, who was

assassinated last week in Pakistan, was in exile, she cared for her mother,

Nusrat, who is in an advanced stage of Alzheimer's, for several years before

returning to Pakistan in October. Her mother, still living, is a lawmaker who

took control of her husband's party after his death. Benazir Bhutto stepped in

to fill her mother's shoes when her mother became ill with the ALZ.

In reading about her care for her mom, i came across this quote from her, which

i thought was poignant:

" Each time one is in trouble or hits rock bottom, it's a time for reflection. I

think being able to climb back depends very much on the ability to reflect.. "

happy new year.
