15 Minutes of Fame

Hello friends! I haven’t been here for awhile. I wish that everyone is peaceful on their journey with their LO, yet for myself and many, that just isn’t possible.

I just happened to meet the author of this book, Tryn Rose Seley, on a trip in Ireland/Scotland. I’m spending almost 3 weeks with her and others on this adventure. After a week into the trip we finally spoke about our experiences with dementia. She mentioned her book and sent me the link. I have just finished it, it’s a very quick read, only about 15 minutes.

I very much wish I knew of this resource during my journey with my mom. It may have given me some relief as the activities director and some peace as the daughter. I hope if you choose to read it that it does just that for you.

Please take good care of yourself, also, as you travel along this trying and heartless path with dementia.
