Ahh Dea, I know how you feel. I packed up my business in 2001 and moved to Summerville because my Great Aunt & Uncle (she's my grandmothers sister) moved into a retirement home here. My Uncle has Alzheimers and I knew as he got worse my Aunt would want family close by.

He is now at the point where every time he blinks it's a whole new world, but he still like to work out in the garden. We have to watch him carefully though or he'll drown stuff. They are lucky enough to have their own cottage with lots of places to plant. My Uncle is now 93 years old and my Aunt 91. Her mind is sharp as a tack and I swear she has more energy than I do! I think Alzheimers is hardest on the caregiver.
