Wanda's Thought's - Lisa was always her Dad's girl. He showered her with affection and spoiled her. As a child Lisa had a poor relationship with her mom. She'd built up resentments toward her, but things changed when her mother was diagnosed with the dreaded disease, Alzheimer's. A horrible disease, Alzheimer's can destroy a lifetime of memories. It can be truly life changing. It was during this time that Lisa learned to love her mom unconditionally. Her mom had become a delight and an inspiration to her.
I was rather disappointed with this book. I found the posts written on the blog to be redundant and there was very little insight on the disease itself. There were some poignant moments, but overall it was lacking depth. I just never connected to the book, losing interest early on. My rating - 2 Stars.
From the book - I've often described her mind like a blank canvas. It is amazing that Alzheimer's can just remove one's life, as if it never existed.
