Introduction

Many children of aging parents

know the challenges

and the heartbreak

one goes through

when our loved ones decline,

never to come back.

 

In my case,soon

after my sister Christi’s tragic death,

my mother, Nenette,

begun showing

signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

 

As this devastating illness took hold of her,

Nenetita experienced a regression to childhood

that turned her into a sweet, tender,

oftentimes very funny little girl.

 

I would like to share in these pages

some of those sweet, funny moments

that so alleviated the pain and difficulties

of the ordeal.

 

And here, with you ...Nenetita!
