At fifty-four, she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease and now, four years later, she is completely dependent on my family and me to live. We feed her, dress her, bathe her, drive her around, and pray that the disease progresses slowly.

Alzheimer's has changed both the relationship we share as a mother and a daughter and the fundamental beliefs that guide my life. I now believe that I am fortunate to have the opportunity to give my mother back the same love and devotion she has given to me.

I visit her as long as my schedule permits. Sometimes I share stories with her, changing all the details into basic terms that she ran understand. Sometimes we sit in silence and comment every now and then on how good the coffee is. " Makes you feel good," she tells me, talking aboul the coffee, and I want to say the same thing about the time spent with her. I am so grateful for these moments, for the experiences we share, and for the chance to make up for the way I treated her years ago. The funny thing is that she may never remember those arguments.
