Alzheimer's Walk - Oct 28, 2000


Matt and Alan sit and eat sunflower seeds
Unsuspecting Todd, Tamara, and the little Tina go walking as I stalk them from behind
A brass band plays at the park...
They still play
Tina contemplates eating a leaf
The alzheimer's chapter plays Sarah McLachlan's Remember live for the event.
They continue to play, unaware that I stalk them from behind
The memory wall dedication - holds pictures and letters honoring alzheimer's patients past and present (it should get bigger as it moves from event to event)
Another view of the memory wall
My dad, Alan, and my sister Amber stand and listen as my dad's song for my mom is played
The chapter head gets emotional in the middle of the song here, but it's hard to see.
My dad puts a picture of my mom on the wall
The childhood picture of my mom on the wall
The women in purple are caretakers at my mom's nursing facility, Dorothy, Kelly, and Barbara. Alan and my dad stand in the background.
My dad sits in front of the memory wall
The sunrise caretakers and my dad. Dorothy, Kelly, my dada, Therese, and Barbara.
Todd, Tina, Tamara, Dad, Me, Amber, Alan, and our makeshift sibling, Matt get a picture.
