Me And MY Alzheimers

by Norman McNamara (Norms) –Norman Mac has been an  inspiration to all advocates for a greater awareness of Alzheimer’s and Dementia.  His optimistic attitude, delightful posts on Facebook  wonderful thoughts and poetry in print bring us joy everyday. At the age of 50yrs old Norm was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. He is now 53 yrs old and spends much of his time sharing his story with others. As an advocate he’s helped many others with his  posts and poetry and fine writing. Norman McNamara can be found on Facebook, at many “memory cafe’s” in the UK, and as an Author of two books about his trials and tribulations as he fights the battle of his life. 

More than words, poems by an Alzheimers sufferer: My everyday fight with Alzheimers

by Norman McNamara “I write about my diagnosis in poetry form and my days thereafter, the high`s, the lows and the terrible times I have ajusting to my diagnosis. I also write about how I stood on the precipice of life itself and fought my way back! Where there is hope there is life! I do believe a cure will come soon!

    Keeping The
    Faith

    Tree`s looking weary, leaves feeling old,
    Flowers nipped at the edges,
    From the nights cold,
    Winters a coming, soon to be here,
    Winds whipping round, eyes full of tears,
    Seasons they change, just like in age,
    Time rolls on, turning the page,
    Unstoppable times, life’s just the same,
    Year pass by, as we play our game,
    The seasons and life are one great adventure,
    The last thing we need, is this awful dementia,
    But as in the seasons, it soon will be spring,
    Nobody knows what this will bring,
    So raise your hearts, to all that is pure,
    And keep the faith, for that wonderful cure.

    Thought i would share this with you all, just wrote it, best wishes, Norrms and family xxxxxx

    I’m reading “Me and My Alzheimer’s” now and am nearly through. It’s like getting a series of e-mails from a friend who has Alzheimer’s disease describing his day. This is an incredible book that offers immeasurable insight into what it’s like to have the disease. It’s the closest thing those of us without Alzheimer’s can get to walking a mile in the shoes of someone with AD.
