| Jane's Journal: CELEBRATING OUR MOMS |
Today is a day to celebrate our mothers. Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to spend time with your mother today. If not, please reflect on everything your mother has done through her loving and caring to raise you to become the person you are today.
My Mom does not know she is a mother. She does not remember those years of nurturing us, guiding us, pulling her hair out because of us and ALWAYS loving us. But we remember, and today is her day.
I love you Mom and thank you for everything…

| News: ALZHEIMER'S OR OLD AGE? |
Worried It's Alzheimer's?
Eight Symptoms to Watch For
By Caring.com
Applying the word "Alzheimer's" to someone close to you can be uncomfortable, even if the signs or symptoms have been adding up for some time. It's much easier to gloss over strange behavior: "Oh, Mom's just getting older." Or to rationalize: "Well, we all forget things sometimes."
Only a qualified physician can conclude with high certainty that a living person has Alzheimer's disease. But the following eight symptoms are strongly associated with the disease. If you detect these signs in someone, it would be wise to seek a medical evaluation.

| Runners: A RUNNER'S LETTER |
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
It is that time of year again for TeamAlzheimers. I am pleased to say that all 50 spots were taken on the first day of registration! It is now time for us to begin our training and fund raising for the Covered Bridgers Half-Marathon in June.
This run and fundraising has become so successful and we have been able to contribute to many organizations. One of our runners took it upon himself to write a letter that he will be sending out.
I want to share this letter with our readers as I feel it has so much to say…

Mom's Needlework
In less than 3 weeks, we will be running our half marathon for TeamAlzheimers. Once again the time has gone by so quickly. I find it so hard to believe we are ready to run again!
I will be visiting mom this weekend, the last time until after my run. I will tell her about my run and that I am doing this for her. Each mile, I will be thinking about mom…

| Jane's Journal: A DAUGHTER'S STRUGGLE |
The Agonizing Mind Games Of Alzheimer's
By Kathy Tyrer
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked me. He was about 84 years old and interested in a date.
Sitting before him with my young son on my lap, I gave him the bad news: "No, but I have a husband and two kids. And I am your daughter, Dad..."

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY
On this Mother's Day, we thank God for mothers everywhere who push, prod, and prepare us to jump higher than our head, reach farther than our grasp, love wider than our years.
Thank you Mom for teaching me to do all this and more, I love you and miss you dearly...
