Life Must Go On
Life Must Go On
On June 21, 2018, my life…my world shifted. My mother passed away quietly in her sleep late in the evening of July 20th and was declared dead in the wee hours of July 21st. I will never forget the sound of her last breath. I will never forget the sight of her dead body being carried out of the house. After seven years of caring for her and watching Lewy Body Dementia ravage her body and her…

We all have a reason to support The Walk to End Alzheimer’s. At this point there are very few people who aren’t directly impacted or know someone who is directly impacted by Alzheimer’s. In just one week, I will walk in memory of my mother. I will also walk to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s. One day there will be a cure as long as we don’t give up. Together we can make a difference. To donate or join my team, click on the link in my bio. Join us on Saturday, September 29th at National Harbor for the 2018 PG County Walk to End Alzheimer’s Event Details Time: Registration at 8am Ceremony at 9am Walk at 9:30am Route Length: 2 miles Location: National Harbor Carousel 137 National Plaza Oxon Hill, MD #walktoendalzheimers #walk2endalz #walktoendalz #endalz #pgcounty #TeamCMBC #inmemoryofmom https://www.instagram.com/p/BoCA8wJhWnG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=79nnjylnhf86
Being a Caregiver It's 3 am. Mom and I are awake. She's got a lot on her mind and is engaging me and the other folks that she sees in the room in conversation intermittently tonight.
Never Give Up. God Is With You.
It’s been a rough 72 hours. For me writing is therapeutic and allows me to step back and examine circumstances in a way that often leads me to answers and makes me get out of the way and let God be God. The most exhausting days are the ones where I must combat an issue that I don’t understand and seems to have no answer. The process looks something like this when I am dealing with an issue re. my…

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!
I celebrate my mother and honor for all she has instilled in me. Mothers and daughters often go through rough years and we certainly did. Here we are at this stage of life where I get to care for her, love her, protect her, and guide her to her next phase of her journey. I am the daughter of Reverend Dr, Dalineta Hines. I am blessed to have been loved, nurtured and shaped by this incredible woman. Alzheimer’s has impacted her body, her mind, her life and our roles in each other’s lives. It has also given me the opportunity to love and experience my mother in new ways. I’m grateful that she gave me life. I am also honored that she made that life an incredible life. I will always love and treasure my mother!
Mother’s Day Tribute #8 HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!! I celebrate my mother and honor for all she has instilled in me. Mothers and daughters often go through rough years and we certainly did.
Mother’s Day Tribute #7 My mother taught me to know, love, pursue and serve God. There is not a single aspect of my mother's life and living that was not based on her spiritual foundation.

Mother’s Day Tribute 2017 #6
I celebrate my heritage because of my mother. My mother is proud of her Jamaican heritage. My parents’ deep love and loyalty to the land of their birth was palpable. They grew up in a Jamaica that was still a colony of Great Britain. Becoming American citizens took nothing from their love of Jamaica. To this day, Mom does not take kindly to any one speaking ill of the British Royal Family or…

Mother’s Day Tribute #5 My mother taught me to appreciate art, culture, traveling and etiquette. My mother made time for trips to museums, concerts, art exhibits, the theater, etc.
Mother’s Day Tribute #4 My mother taught me to celebrate the freedom and power of submission and surrender. Whew! Now let's all breathe.
2017 Mother’s Day Tribute #3 My mother taught me that intelligence and resourcefulness were aspects of beauty. Now don't get it twisted.
2017 Mother’s Day Tribute #2 I believe in love because of my mother. She taught me about love by how she loved (and still loves) all of her children and grandchildren, including the ones that weren't her's biologically.
2016 Mother’s Day Tribute #1 I am who I am because of who my mother is. I am grateful for having a mother whose example makes me know that better is possible and makes me want to be my best self.
We'll See What the Lord Will Do
We’ll See What the Lord Will Do
Whenever closing a conversation where the ultimate conclusion was yet to be determined, my mother was sure to say, “We’ll see what the Lord will do.” She said this so often that almost everyone who knows her ends up using this phrase from time to time. As we journey through the late stages of Alzheimer’s with Mom, I find myself saying it often. I’m not sure how others move through this part of…

How Do You Keep The Music Playing…
I must ask you to stick with me on this one. It’s a bit of a winding road. Music has always played a major role in my life and the life of my family. My memories of my childhood are full of music. Lately, I have been enjoying vivid memories of the songs my parents sang to me as lullabies. I am the youngest of 4 children. My older siblings were all involved in music. Someone was always learning a…

The Past, Present, and Future
The Past, Present, and Future
Alzheimer’s is a tricky disease. My mother is fixated on moving forward. She has her eye on the future. She always has something she needs to do, somewhere she needs to go, and someone she needs to talk with, and things that people real to us both and real to her only need to be doing and saying. I am the one clinging to the past, longing for what was, wanting her to join me in the past. When I…

Go Ahead and Cry
photo by Benjamin Rusnak The life of being a caregiver for someone you love who has a irreversible progressive degenerative disorder/disease comes with tears. There’s no getting around it. I remember the day the doctor told me that Mom has Alzheimer’s. It was not a surprise but it was devastating. The memory of that moment still brings me to tears. I cannot count the number of times have…
