For a period of time, my mom has been in a very good mood, and quite interactive. It suddenly happened that she was walking non-stop with her walker and had lots of energy.

The morning of Saturday, October 24th was the Orlando Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Although the 2020 walk was unique because it was virtual, there were a lot of purple supporters throughout the area.

On October 15th, I had the honor to speak at the Brave. Bold. Beyond. – Virtual Summit that attracted over 500 attendees.

I am very proud of the progress my mom has made since mid-June until about 10 days ago.  From March until mid-June, my mom was not able to walk, especially pivot her left leg

When my mom received her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, I felt so helpless. I was overwhelmed by the thought of what seemed to be an impossible journey ahead of her…and us.

When my father suddenly passed away nearly twenty years ago, I never thought my privileged happy go lucky life would crash. Gradually, within two years, my mother’s mental state started to decline with clouded decision making, irritability, and her million-dollar-watt smile faded and eventually became non-existent. 

Thank you to the Alzheimer’s Association for selecting my response to “What’s One Think You Do To Show A Loved One You Care?”. I responded to this question on LinkedIn several months ago because I wanted to share what makes my mom happy.
