      <image:title>Blog - This Thanksgiving and next: searching for the right decisions - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>My son (not pictured) reflected on our Thanksgiving weekend with this warm assessment: “Although Alzheimer’s is a brutal, relentless thief, there are things it cannot steal. Our time together as a family is still meaningful. Our love and support for each other is unwavering. Sadness and grief are the elephants in the room, but there was also plenty of laughter.” (I can only add, where would we be without our cell phones? See below.)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This is a picture of Vicki and me made a month or so after the diagnosis in January 2019. It was a family photo shoot we had scheduled before we learned of pancreatic cancer. Vicki was determined that we do it – as were the rest of us. But honestly, most of the pictures with me in them weren’t good because I felt as though I’d either break out in tears or cursing any minute!  But, the girls like this one – had one made for me for Christmas that is on a shelf where we have some of Vicki’s special things.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Remember the Forgetting</image:title>
      <image:caption>Like most good things in life, memory is something we take for granted—until we start to lose it. And watching memories slip away from someone you love is harder still. Since my wife’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, her memory has been evaporating. I can’t reverse the losses, but I’ve decided to do the next best thing. I’m going to keep a chronicle of this journey. Here, in this space, I want to remember the forgetting.  (Evelyn and Mark posed June 22, 2024, the date of their 51st wedding anniversary.)</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - Your Story, Too</image:title>
      <image:caption>As I record my own conclusions and questions about our walk, I’d like to hear yours, too. Some 6 million Americans are afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease, so I know so many others have stories like ours. Let’s encourage each other with what we’re deciding about the forgetting. Let’s share and compare our journeys.</image:caption>
