This elderly woman sits at the window and contemplates the world outside. She does not see far beyond the window frame because her world has diminished considerably. Two years ago she was officially diagnosed with dementia after a life threatening surgery and long hospital stay. However, her family and friends noticed a difference in her personality over the last several years. Once a proud and hard working single mom, she raised two children during the 60’s and 70’s at a time when single parenthood was not as widely accepted as it is today. At present, she is reduced to little more than the passive demeanor of a quiet child. She is aware of the reduction in both her mental and physical abilities. She also understands that she is helpless to change anything. / It takes great courage to face the inevitable. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia; it accounts for 64 per cent of all dementias. For example right now in the US, Alzeihmer’s has surpassed diabetes and is the sixth leading cause of death. As baby boomers are rapidly approaching the age of retirement it is believed that 10 million baby boomers will develop Alzheimer’s in their lifetime. Currently, there are more than 24 million people in the world with dementia—this is estimated to rise to 81 million by the year 2040.6 / Statistics taken from both the Canadian and American Alzeihmer’s Society. / Published by Redbubble in Compassion, Courage and Friendship book October 2008 / Compassion, Courage & Friendship Featured in the Nirvana group October 2008 / Featured in the ImageWriting group November 2008 / Featured in the RB Buyer’s Booth November 2008 / Featured in the Stillness Speaks group November 2008 / Featured on RB homepage on November 25/08 / The Fine Art of Photography

Fernand is probably wondering where i am ,each time i work I look for fresh fruits everywhere ,his fav.peaches ,pears and plums,sometimes i go downstairs at the cafeteria to beg for some….Everytimes he says «écoute la petite,what would you like me to buy for you ,tell me »and I say «nothing» ,he answers «They don’t have that in the stores»I t’s like a ritual …a few weeks ago ,her greatgrandaugther was hit by a drunk lady ,20 years old,I though we where gonna loose him.Hopefully everybody went to talk to him very often ,he had more fruits…and he told me last week that the girl was out of the coma and started to talk a little.Last month ,I took his picture and told him that everybody said he was a handsome man.I explained to him that his face was all over the world…..«i didn’t even comb my hair » he said,it was funny.Mr Fernand is 95 years old ,he can walk slowly but do everything by himself,never disturbing and always acting like a gentleman .A few women are after him but his wife died 6 months ago and he loved her so much ,I knew her ,a very funny lady.She had alzeimer.I hope he will be ok until I come back…Gigi

My dear Agathe,so precious ,when she wants something nothing can stop her.She’s a libra just like me and her sister’s name is Gisèle just like me…either.Agathe is very proud to remember my name all the time and she always wants a big hug from me but when she’s angry ,watch out..!She has the most gentel smile I’ve ever seen ….and when she has that smile , it means trouble.She’s always looking in her purse,afraid that somebody would steel something from her One day I wanted to take the purse away to change her and she told her family that I beat her up,like I told you ,very clever that lady.I don’t touch the purse anymore.I don’t have any choices that to love her ,she won’t let anyone get on her back and that’s a good thing…..but it’s very hard to please her.I think It’s a great chalenge….Gigi..

This guy was in front of me on his cell phone while I was walking over the Brooklyn Bridge. I couldn’t resist the mystery of the moment. :) Yes, I solarized/edited it for a future world/past world sort of feeling. :) Sold 1 mounted print to a collector in Florida, USA.

When I saw this prayer, written by an unknown author, at the Carmelite monastery where I do volunteer work, I knew I had to incorporate it into an image and offer its consoling words to those who are suffering from Alzheimer’s as well as to family, friends, and medical personnel who care for those afflicted with this disease. I chose an image of a cloud-filled sky as the sun was setting because those with Alzheimer’s are largely in the sunset of their lives and have to contend with many issues that cloud their lives. Prayer for an Alzheimer’s Sufferer Please grant my visitors tolerance for my confusion, / Forgiveness for my irrationality, / and the strength to walk with me / Into the mist of memory my world has become. Please let them take my hand and stay awhile / Even though I seem unaware of their presence. / Help them to know how their strength and loving care / Will drift slowly into the days to come / Just when I need it most. Let them know when I don’t recognize them / that I will . . . I will. / Keep their hearts free from sorrow for me / For my sorrow when it comes only lasts a moment – / then it’s gone. And finally please let them know / how very much their visits mean, / How, even through this relentless mystery, / I can still feel the love. Amen

I got so excited when I saw this dynamic duo seated in the downstairs lobby area of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. They had such character and now I can imagine their stories in my mind. He’s a former professor of philosophy and they had once had an affair when she was a visiting student from Portugal back in the 1950s. Now they’re just friends and they spend every Thursday afternoon at the Museum. OR…maybe you can come up with a more inventive scenario. :)

I have plenty of photos of this adorable woman. I actually liked this after she put her hands over her face…adds an aura of mystery. And she does use “The Age Card” to her advantage when she chooses to—hence, the caption title. LOL ;) I’m placing this photo in the CURRENT ISSUES Group because there are so many baby boomer people with elderly parents…and as time goes by…it truly is an issue to be dealt with.
