Thanks for sending this,.

Benazir Bhutto and Alzheimer's

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.
