I know it has been years, but, it was the greatest loss of my life.<br /><br />I do appreciate each and everyone of you that has read this post and that has taken the time to write the most encouraging and compassionate comments.

Having read your letter to the world, I have to say that your love and care for your mother is so touching and you made your mother's life a whole lot smoother for her even though it cost you a lot in many different ways. This is what life is all about; what we do for others when we see a need. You seem to have not just a good heart Dale, but also a big one. Your job at Macys sounds like something that helps get you through your days and being in retail means that you are busy! This is a good thing and helping people in retail can act as a therapy of a sort. I wish you a better year ahead and healing in your heart.<br /><br />elizabethelizabeth shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09042037455600427075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-54875940932416471302013-07-11T21:28:10.445-04:002013-07-11T21:28:10.445-04:00Hi Dale!

So, I decided to come over and see who this lovely lady was. What gorgeous hair she had! Dale, I feel like I know you because I've often seen you around on Facebook. I'm very sorry for your loss. It's hard to lose our parents. My own mother is very sick. Although we have always had our ups and downs, still I love her. She will be ninety this month. I wish you the best, Dale. Your job at Macy's sounds very interesting. It must be such a beautiful place to work at. I've never been but I have heard of it. I'm from Canada. Take care!Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08216586118985900266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-25951410767615071752013-07-11T19:19:33.419-04:002013-07-11T19:19:33.419-04:00What a very moving post, condolences on your loss....What a very moving post, condolences on your loss. I know what it is like to lose a parent to dementia, my father went at an early age. It's great you have been able to turn you love of miniatures into a small business, and also good that you love your job, it sounds like an exciting place to work!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06394749908398047600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-20977969591850942732013-07-10T17:39:45.155-04:002013-07-10T17:39:45.155-04:00Beautiful Dale.

It can be overwhelming to care for elders... or anyone with extra needs for that matter... and time to yourself is essential. I hope you will find your balance again and think of the wonderful times you had together. Losing your parents so close together must be a huge change in your world... and I hope you take care of yourself!Daydreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170115485686244907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-57443877045903225692013-07-08T15:20:48.161-04:002013-07-08T15:20:48.161-04:00I had to go through the same thing only with my gr...I had to go through the same thing only with my grandmother so I feel your pain, thank you for sharing your story<br /><br />Hugs<br />MarisaMarisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08484302423812250789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-60693508175543372592013-07-08T11:27:09.564-04:002013-07-08T11:27:09.564-04:00A beautiful post my friend.

I am glad that you were able to have your Mom with you while she was afflicted with the dementia and you were with her when she passed. It's never easy to lose a parent. I send you lots of love and always an available ear if you need to chat. Love you!!!!!♥Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07375926316456970496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-51572994034330903772013-07-08T10:57:18.389-04:002013-07-08T10:57:18.389-04:00Dale, I am so moved by this post.

That is so sad. We all have just one Mom, and the bond we have with them can be very special, as was your's with her. To write about it and the troubles your relation encountered takes courage. Because these are matters of the hart. Like you said, sometimes some things feel to close to share. But your strength is in your vulnerability and I admire you for that. Your family and the bond with your parents has made you the person you are today. Thank you só much for sharing your story and shedding a light onto who you are; amongst a lot of things like wife, mom, sales person at Macy's and miniaturist; the daughter of Dorothy Rose Rogers.<br /><br />big hug, DeboraDeborahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00288909507295400867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-66975915079508549252013-07-08T03:29:10.408-04:002013-07-08T03:29:10.408-04:00I read every word of your story Dale, fascinating ...I read every word of your story Dale, fascinating for me as my life has followed similar paths and I lost my mother too, the same time as you. I'm now trying to get my life back on track. Miniatures allow us an escape a while when we're able to concentrate a little. I know how hard it is to have all these feelings inside but try to let them out. Sharing them can help. Your miniatures are gorgeous, I hope they help your coping with life.

Yes, dementia is a burden... you're still seeing the person you love but the things that really make a person like character, personality, sense of humour... they've faded away. You've done what you could and that will be your comfort. <br /><br />Hugs<br />BirgitBiWuBärhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624262663621307478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4482266092679432061.post-39331300898497429452013-07-07T12:21:55.066-04:002013-07-07T12:21:55.066-04:00A very moving post.
