Shimelle's current sketch of the week provided the answer. A simple design , with space to tell the story.
She was an adored wife of almost 60 years standing.
She was a cherished mum of two.
She was a loved mother-in-law of two.
She was a treasured Grandma of three.
She was a career woman back in the day of married women not having careers.
She was the driving force in her family.
She was loved and admired by many.
Dementia.
It did not define her.
It does not define us.
It was part of her story.
It is part of our story.
It was not her whole story.
It is not our whole story.

Great LO..and beautiful and obviously heartfelt journalling. My gran had Alzheimer's and it is particularly harrowing to witness it's procession

She sounds like a fine woman. And this is a very fine tribute.
Beautiful layout and beautiful journalling to go along with it.
It is wonderful that you were finally able to document this memory from a perspective that brought forth the story of an amazing woman, rather than the story of a terrible disease. Good job!
What a lovely tribute to someone who was obviously very special to you.
An awesome layout and a beautiful tribute to your mother-in-law, Ruth. It's just lovely.
Lovely layout and your words are so very true. Much love x
