My zinnia flower finally bloomed from seed in the garden!
I called one of my uncles recently. His wife is my departed mom's sister. He is her caretaker since she was diagnosed in 2011. My aunt had fallen and hit her head weeks ago and she has deteriorated since then. She is lucky to have him as a caretaker he is very devoted. He has coped admirably with the changes brought on by the disease over the years. Their children and grandchildren being nearby have helped them cope. He also benefits from being a member of an Alzheimer help group. It was nice talking to my uncle, it had been awhile. I have memories of him since I was a little girl.

Very beautiful!
It takes just one fall to trigger an inevitable decline. Life is that inevitable.
He sounds like a wonderful man! Hugs, Valerie

Love the photo! He does sound like a wonderful caretaker. It takes a lot to cope with. Glad you two could talk. 💗💗💗💗💗
Love the zinnia-they are a new favorite flower. And glad you had a nice catch up with your uncle too. Happy Sunday.
Aw. So sorry. We need good caregivers.
I had to smile. When I was in second grade, I was a zinnia in a school play. My grandmother (grands raised me from birth) made my costume. Fond memories, dear.
Glad you could talk to your uncle. I'm sure he needs lots of moral support about now.
Your uncle is a warrior.
Those late season blooms are such a nice little treat aren't they. It's nice catching up with those we don't see often and bring those nice memories to the surface.
Such a beautiful Sunday post💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Last season blooms are always the best! We really appreciate pops of colour this time of year.
Bella flor. Te mando un beso.
great uncle... love to know about him...
Have a wonderful day to you and your families
Hola! una flor muy bonita, espero que tu tia se encuentre bien. Besos
It’s so good of you to keep in touch. It’s very important for caregivers to get support also.
It's good that you caught up with your uncle and the Zinnia are really pretty
