I lost my Mom to Alzheimer’s in January of 2022 after a 13-year journey. In the midst of it, we also lost her sister (Alzheimer’s) and her husband (Parkinson’s). In 2019, the same week Mom went into Memory Care, my Aunt died. My Uncle died two months later. I helped with caregiving for them all. I write about it in my book, Seeking Clarity in the Labyrinth, a Daughter’s Journey through Alzheimer’s.

I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. As a child in New Jersey, birdsong woke me almost every day in spring and summer. In Califiornia, hummingbirds regularly visited my back yard. In Texas, I had regular visits from bluejays and cardinals and a family of doves who liked to nest in the birdfeeder. Now that I live on Florida’s Nature Coast, my birdwatching has expanded. A flock of ibis regularly struts through my neighborhood like a gang of street thugs, a family of cardinals is nesting in my crepe myrtle, eagles (including bald eagles!) are everywhere, and the shore birds are a marvel to watch – egrets, herons, sand pipers, seagulls, and sandhill cranes are at every beach, and most of our neighborhood ponds.
