An article to "remember"

The article featuring Alzheimer's, Mom and Walden Place was in the Cortland Standard last night. They did a wonderful job!  We had our photos splashed across the front page and it was very informative for the public and exciting for us.  We were even in "living color!"  Today is also National Alzheimer's Awareness Day so Bailee and I are wearing purple...the ribbon color for Alzheimer's.  I was reading the article to Bailee and Jess last evening and when I finished Bailee looked at me quizzically and a trifle miffed and  said, "They didn't say anything about your younger granddaughter!!" She usually joins us on our visits to see Great Grandma but that darn school thing is "messing up everything."  It really is a good thing that she is aware of the disease and it's effects.  It sounds like the numbers will be rising ... to the tune of 11-16 million by the year 2030.....she will only be 24:-( and hopefully not dealing with it as Jess is....(from my lips to God's ears).
