I was a caregiver for my father who lived with dementia. I’m now living with dementia myself and being carried for by family. I enjoy meeting and talking with people about dementia to help reduce any fears or stigma about the disease.  I spend most of my time doing crafts, walking and interacting with my family. I love attending various Alzheimer’s activities at the Botanical Gardens, San Antonio Museum of Arts and local senior centers where I get to meet new and old friends.
