Alzheimer's is one of those terrible diseases that bit by bit takes the essence of a person away from them, their family and their friends. Along the way, everyone around a person with this affliction loses the memories of the time shared, the laughs, the tears, all that makes up a person. It's cruel and demanding. But if you step back, back from the daily care and concern for safety for that Alzheimer's patient, you find a remarkable person. Although each of us may lead a very ordinary life, we all have a bit of the extraordinary in us. The moments that make us who we are, the legacies we leave our children, are woven into us. This is the story of Lee, a trombone playing, cheerleading, mother of four, grandmother to eight and great grandmother to one. She married her high school sweetheart, loved to jitter bug, built dollhouses and decorated every surface of her house for Christmas. She also has Alzheimer's. Although this disease now holds her in its grasp, it should not remove the funny, feisty, friend to so many, and beloved by her family. Harkening the Erma Bombeck style of poking fun at daily life, this book chronicles the anecdotal stories of Lee. The moments of her life that make her extraordinary. For anyone out there caring for, or beginning the long journey that is Alzheimer's, this book will inspire you to share and memorialize your own ordinary, but a little extraordinary lives.
