I had a friend who died in her early 60s from a rapidly progressing type of Alzheimer's, and as a nurse, I took care of people with the disease. And then, after I had a contract for this book, my mother-in-law was diagnosed. It is hard. That's why God gave us each other - to lighten the load. <br /><br />So sorry about your cousin. You're in my prayers.carla stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668815291865738037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-74815247790797355042012-05-08T15:12:21.349-04:002012-05-08T15:12:21.349-04:00struggling with this caregiving of my cousin who b...struggling with this caregiving of my cousin who became victim to alzheimers at 60.. so sad to witness this deterioration so early in life - all the losses of life and future up close - devastating not only for him , but for me as i now have a full time job in caring and providing administration of his life and needs, unexpectedly..<br /><br />thx for writing on difficult life realities!Faith Hope and Cherryteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170392449995588653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-5705929826476157832012-05-07T22:06:41.984-04:002012-05-07T22:06:41.984-04:00Thank you, Nancy.

While the abuse is horrible and was hard to write about, Broken Wings is truly a story of friendship and God's providence. While abuse may take center stage for a season, hope and friendship triumph, and that's what I want people to take away from Broken Wings. Let me know what you think!carla stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668815291865738037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-22324978357575083222012-05-07T16:39:47.625-04:002012-05-07T16:39:47.625-04:00I've just finished reading Stardust, and it...I've just finished reading Stardust, and it's one of the best books I've read this year.

I loved your topic & it's been one I've learned a lot about of late. We've been going through my husband's diagnosis & treatment of cancer. There have been so many, many blessings from the Lord throughout this time & I am so very thankful. He has taught both of us so much. My faith is ever so much stronger since the beginning of this battle.<br /><br />I lost my mom 8 years ago & I am sorry for your loss. As time has passed & my grief has changed to more of a longing to see her again when I get to heaven, I have so many good memories & treasure those.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001557857341271451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8713519582170578996.post-53906917626020006902012-05-07T13:44:16.313-04:002012-05-07T13:44:16.313-04:00Hi Carla, I have your books on my wish list and lo...Hi Carla, I have your books on my wish list and looking forward to reading them.

Surrendering is a daily struggle - I say that today as I'm getting ready for my next book to release and I'd love for it to soar to the best seller list, but I've learned (am learning) that I can't control that.
