It's November 1st and I have a lot to be thankful for this year. How about you?

I am thankful today that I have gotten care for so many people dealing with Alzheimer's Disease. I can just relate to people with Alzheimer's and Dementia so much because of my own issues with seizures and amnesia.

November is Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month.

Here is a video of Glen Campbell singing I'm not Gonna Miss You. A song he co-wrote when he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. He passed away last year.

Here is a poem I wrote about Alzheimer's.

Alzheimer's Prayer by Alana Gillis

I'm living my life with childlike cares. Even though I don't remember every bit of my years. I know with a childlike unfailing faith. You will always be here to keep me happy and safe. I would tell you these things myself if I still knew how. There are so many things I wish I could tell you right now. With Alzheimer's stealing a little more every day. God sent someone to write the words I long to say. Child of mine, you're special and strong. "I'm so proud of you," is something, I should have been saying all along. When you get old, and you're still young yet, It's not what you did, but what you didn't do That you most often regret. So enjoy your life and know that you're loved. From us here on earth and from Him up above.

Here is a sketch of me I drew.
