Everyone wants to be loved. No one wants to be hurt. We all strive for acceptance. As adults, it still makes our day when we do or say something that gets approval. Caregiving is a part of that loving, caring, acceptance and approval. My recent participation in the Memory Walk for Alzheimer’s demonstrated that love and acceptance. There were so many people walking for the cause. Some were there because they wanted to show their loved ones they cared. Others were there to offer support for the friends and family who had been affected by Alzheimer’s. I would imagine some walkers were even there because they enjoyed walking. Did I forget to mention those who wanted to be noticed. Whatever the reason, we all benefited. There were walkers wearing t shirts with photos of their loved ones. Walkers were carrying banners, posters, wearing necklaces, singing, running. Some participants were in wheelchairs, strollers, on skates,skateboards. Do our loved ones appreciate we are champions for this cause? Does it make a difference to them? Many people care about Alzheimer’s and are doing their part to make a difference?
