Alzheimer’s Notes

A Life Before Alzheimer’s - Mother, the Country Grocer

by Mary Emma Allen on December 20th, 2007

Port & Company - Grocery Tote BagI often mention my mom in my writing here at Alzheimer’s Notes and have told her Alzheimer’s journey in my book, When We Become the Parent to Our Parents.  However, some of you might like a glimpse of Mother in her life before Alzheimer’s.

At the b5 Business Channel and Home Biz Notes, where I’m a co-blogger with Yvonne Russell, we’re involved in an 8-week “apprentice” type competition.  This week we were asked to give the prototype business owner inspiration by relating a success story.  I decided to tell about My Mother, the Country Grocer…Success Isn’t Always What You Think.  I hope you find inspiration in Mother’s story, too.

It was after Mother became ill with Alzheimer’s and I moved her to my home in another state that I began to realize how much she’d affected the lives of others during her lifetime.   Perhaps this is a lesson…value the people in our life and don’t take them for granted.  Try to see them as others do and we may realize their significance.

Do you have a “success” story to share about the Alzheimer’s patient in your life?
