This is going to be short but very sweet.My mom was getting ready to go visit my dad yesterday. She decided to put perfume on that my dad use to love.
She got to his house and sat down next to the bed as he was just waking up from a nap. She leaned over and said "smell my neck, I am wearing your favorite perfume". He leaned over as if he was going to smell her neck but instead started to kiss her several times all over the neck.
She got on her cell phone right away and called me to tell me the interesting news. Regardless of the Alzheimer's, I bet he remembered that smell. That made her day! That was a joy for me to hear. My dad is so sweet.

This is my first time to visit your blog. What a blessing it has been---reading your entries. My dad also has Alz; he is 63 and was diagnosed 3 years ago. It has been a heartbreaking journey, but it has not been without experiences to be grateful for, the kindness of people, and the faithfulness of God. I am so happy I found your blog. Thank you for your courage and vulnerability in writing and sharing; I look forward to reading more!
Thank you Karen! Sorry to hear about your dad as well. It is a cruel disease. It sure does help to have support from others. Good luck.
