It's been a hard journey for my family, watching my Grandma these last 10+ years. She doesn't know anyone now, can barely hold a conversation, a shell of her former self. She's at a most wonderful care facility for Alzheimer's patients in Dickinson. My mom, Eli and I were able to stop by on our way back to Bismarck. Introducing Eli to his Great-Grandma Zander was sweet. Her comment "oh he is heavy."
I remember being pregnant with Maelee and getting so excited to have that Four Generations photo with her and my mom. I ache for that still. Needless to say, this photo is a treasure:
I love you Grandma Doris! Someday things will be right again.

Thank you for this post, Heather! It was a lovely day and a wonderful turn out! So far have raised $22000...not bad for little ole Dickinson! Your Mom won the gift that I donated, too! She traveled the farthest. And Bonbon won the most $'s raised...thanks to the memorials from Grandpa's funeral:) A success for sure. Your pics are priceless...wish I would have been there. Thanks for posting them and sharing them with us! Love you! Aunt Ruth
