Guest guest Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Hey, - I had 3 quotes from this forum that I copied on sticky notes and posted on my mirror so that I would see them each day. After Dad passed away last year I just kept them up becuase they embodied the strength that we caregivers need for taking care of the LBD loved one and anyone else that we're caring for (my 91 year old Mom who is now living by herself in a town 3 hours away from me!). Quote # 1 is the one from Sandie that you have already used-- " We are not responsible for the outcome. We are only responsible for the effort. "   Quote # 2 is one from Courage-- " Life demanded that someone show up here and you stepped up. "  Quote # 3 I didn't copy down the author--but it's one of my favorites " Don't forget them because they forgot how to be. Face them with your heart and you will be okay; as each day you spend with them is a day you will ALWAYS remember. "  Dianne P, daughter of Bill, 85 when he was set free from LBD on Jan. 23, 2009. Subject: good quotes?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 i have one,  this is to help cg get over the family /friends that come in and think they know it all.  when " know it alls " come into town, remember that they are 'seagulls' they fly into town with no notice, eat up all your food,squawk a lot giving unwanted opinons , and leave you all the poop to clean up . hugs. sharon I am the daughter of Leonard whom was diagnosed in May 2004 and he died of complicatons *blood pressure started dropping and wouldn't recover* on Sept 25, 2005. He had bad case of Dr Jekyl/Mr Hyde scenarios. He was showing hallucinations and falling issues since prior to 1994. We moved in to take care of him Jan 19, 2003 and still live in his house. And in feb 2009, i have been diagonosed with 99% probability of lbd. Hoping that a cure or treatment will be found before it's too late for me. From: <octoryroseyahoo (DOT) com> Subject: good quotes?
