I will always be indebted to the Fulbright Program for this experience.
The kids have gotten so much bigger and are simply amazing. They continue to wow me each and every day.
My mom, however, was diagnosed with frontal temporal dementia and has not been doing so great. I ask her about Jamaica and she still remembers bits and pieces of it. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for that chance to spend that time with her. She may not remember but the kids and I have and will hold onto to those memories for her.
We are about to start our next journey... an RV road trip around this great country of ours. Here's the link in case you want to join us on this next adventure too :-)

Since this will be my last and final post on this blog, I won't say good by just until next time.
Peace, Love and Blessings!!!
Dear Christina,
ReplyDeleteYour blog has meant the world to me and my family as we prepare OUR Fulbright journey to Jamaica. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom - my father also has a form of Alzheimer's disease called Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). Unlike your mom, he will not get to share this adventure with us although he would have been the first on the plane to come see us just a few years back. How wonderful that she was able to share that time with you and your family. Wishing you and your family all the best. I hope to keep in touch for a long time to come! Best wishes, Anna
