Lyn was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at 40. Lyn is intellectually disabled. Lyn is my sister. Tuesday, February 28, 2017. Lyn found a new shirt in her closet. It was very exciting for her. She came running in from her room, mostly dressed, to show Mom the new shirt she had found. It's a nice blue shirt with eight stars on it forming the Big Dipper and North Star arrangement and the word "Alaska" on it. She didn't know where the shirt came from and wanted to know if she could wear it. Links to this post.

When I asked if they could just hold onto the painting and let me pick it up this summer when I visit, Lyn got upset. "But, I need the money now! And doesn't want to wait for it. Labels: A Good Day.
