Bitter sweetness

Today's buddy walk wore us out! We were there for 3 hours playing games and getting informed. I forgot sunscreen so we are burnt, but we had a great time. It was a great experience to see all of the many faces of Down syndrome. Some of my family came and learned a lot from all of the information. Awesome.


On a different note, we later went to see Jerod's dad. He has been suffering from Alzheimer's disease and is progressing rapidly. He hasn't had a doctor visit that's worth anything in years, so his condition is more than likely irreversible. It's so sad and hard to watch. Jerod's mother is suffering because of it as well. What a terrible disease to have.
