struggle thinking alzheimers
I think the earlier stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest. Particularly because the person knows that they are losing awareness. They're aware that they're losing awareness, and you see them struggling.
thinking political problem
I think we can work through a lot of political and international problems, but what really frightens me is what's happening environmentally.
believe thinking order
I don't think it's an accident who our parents are; I believe we choose them. So maybe I chose my parents in order to effect change.
thinking dying death-and-dying
I think that nothing teaches you more about life than death and dying.
unique thinking people
The thing about losing any loved one, I think, particularly in a long disease, is that you know that other people have gone through it and are going through it, but I think for every person it feels unique.
love thinking people
People love the way they're capable of loving-but that's not always how you want them to love or how you think they should love.
father thinking years
I often imagine what it would be like if my father were still here to mark his 100th birthday, if Alzheimer's hadn't clawed away years, possibilities, hopes. What would he think of all the commemorations and celebrations?
motherhood thinking people
Just think: people decided one day that a day should be set aside for motherhood and fatherhood. What a great concept that is.
father thinking alzheimers
My father started growing very quiet as Alzheimer's started claiming more of him. The early stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest because that person is aware that they're losing awareness. And I think that that's why my father started growing more and more quiet.
believe cure none others speak wide
I speak for many others when I say that none of us believe a cure is just around the corner. We believe it's around a very wide bend.

I felt that the best I could do for my father, and the best I could do for myself, and my mother and my family was to stay open to the experience, and learn whatever I could at every step of the way as it was going on.

Christopher Reeve understood that... everything begins with hope. His vision of walking again, his belief that he would be able to in his lifetime, towered over his broken body.

After September 11, I got to understand a little bit of his deep love for this country.

I heard his stories about ice skating as a kid along this river, that went on for miles, and miles and miles, and in winter when the river had frozen.
