Alzheimer’s can feel like a marathon where someone keeps moving the finish line further and further away. I realize now that it’s not a marathon – it’s a relay race.

Finding The Gift
On his birthday, Cal Campbell finds a gift from his father, Glen Campbell, in the least-expected place.
There’s No Me Without You
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I was thinking about how wonderful it is to be in love and what a gift it is to be able to express your love to someone. Glen’s song, There’s No Me Without You, took on a deeper meaning for both of us as his sense of self began to diminish due to Alzheimer’s.
A Beautiful Love Song
Our job as caregivers is to help our loved ones finish their song. Although this song was not written by Glen, the words spoke to me as If they came directly from his heart.
Turn Turn Turn
Perhaps it’s serendipitous that Glen played guitar on this Byrds record more than 50 years ago and it’s just now resonating with me as a caregiver. As the seasons turn, so must we turn away from defeat and depression as caregivers.
Enjoy The Moment
For people with dementia, every day is the same. There’s a unique peace to not being burdened with the pressures of time passing. Maybe caregivers can learn from this unexpected advantage…
Glen Campbell sings “Chanukah”
Glen loved singing and recording Christmas songs, but always wanted to record “Chanukah” by Marty Goetz. Sadly, Alzheimer’s robbed him of the opportunity to ever properly record it. Here, for the first time, is a home video of the only performance of Glen singing this song.
The Art Of Glen Campbell
When actress Jane Seymour invited Glen Campbell to join her in her art studio for a painting session – she was amazed. Through this wonderful collective art experience, two abstract paintings were born from a man who had never before picked up a paintbrush.
Come Harvest Time
As I celebrate this Thanksgiving with my husband, I will look into his eyes, hold his hand, kiss him, share a meal and be truly be grateful for the life we’ve shared and the children and grandchildren God has given us.
Redeem The Time!
Don’t feel defeated because you can’t do something that you had planned to do before you became a caregiver. Make each moment count. Redeem The Time! – Kim Campbell
