Re: Mom's real life boyfriend in the nursing home

[Guest guest]

There was a Spark (I think) story and movie about a woman with

Alzheimers whose husband visited regularly but she " fell in love " with

another man at the home. Good luck!! Leona

Leona: Caregiver for husband Ray, age 68, diagnosed 2/04 with Parkinson's

Disease. Changed doctors, diagnosed 6/06 with LBD. Almost continual downhill

slide no matter what drugs we try. 5/2/08 Ray was placed in Sunrise Nursing

Home in Oswego, NY, 1 hour from home. So far, so good! Hardest thing I have

ever done in my life, however. 3/19/09 transferred to Samaritan Keep NH in

Watertown, NY closer to home. He passed peacefully at 5:18 am on April 14,

2009. I am handling it OK.

'Love is not finding someone to live with; it's finding someone you don't

want to live without.'

It was a book, and it was turned into a movie - it was called The Notebook. It

was great.... used lots of tissues on that one.

I have heard of that movie The Notebook, I may have read that book years

ago.
