As another year comes to an end, many of us spend some time reflecting about how time has changed our lives, filled with moments of happiness and sadness. Fifty-nine years ago today, was a happy occasion for my Mom and Dad when they were married.

| December 28, 1952 |
Their lives have changed dramatically since that day in 1952. They each lived full lives together and separately with their children and their families being the bond that brought them together for special times. Today, however, Alzheimer's has placed Mom & Dad in a time warp that takes them to moments of their lives to relive again and again. Each moment they relive becomes fragmented with other moments. Some days I can tell where they are at and at other times I cannot. It is a journey all their own and we are just observers.
The following photos are of Mom & Dad today, December 2011:

Of the two years of blogging, this update has been the most difficult with tears blurring my writing. As I look at the photos of Mom and Dad of today, I reflect on their lives and the lessons learned.
What will you make of your 2012?
