The early onset of dementia is a shocker. Espcially when you think it means age 70. Paul was in his 50s. I've spoken with some young folks with a father that got it in his late 40s. It's enough to make you wanna buy Long Term Health Insurance. <br /><br />I'm hoping Garage Orch part II may happen in the next year, gearing up for it actually. Thank you. clbAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14238443632454897835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-47344895483146622172009-11-08T22:54:50.353-08:002009-11-08T22:54:50.353-08:00Thanks for sharing Cindy.

You have a lovely son. Kids are the reflection of their parents and he reflects a beautiful image of love and poetry.<br /><br />The mind can be so mysterious. I have worked in Special Education for seven years and I have learned a lot about the mind, but I know that there is so much to be discovered and even more issues to resolve. There has been news of brain injuries of NFL players and early onset of dementia. I think CBS made the report. You are a wonderful person, Cindy. Alexander and Paul are lucky to have you. I have always admired your music - especially your Garage Orchestra years. Hope to see you again soon. ;-J ohn VaughnSpot On John Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03968912814967442619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544924080300827163.post-83066528297997382672009-11-05T15:58:56.032-08:002009-11-05T15:58:56.032-08:00Your love for Paul shielded you from seeing the ea...Your love for Paul shielded you from seeing the early signs of his decline. It is difficult to observe someone so close with any objectivity. The important thing to keep in mind here is that you did the right thing when the 2x4 hit you. The quality of your lives has improved and the quality of your love has never wavered. Sweet dreams.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270887352900144899noreply@blogger.com
