My Dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia in 2012 and it just plain sucks. Living 6 1/2 hours away is both a blessing and a curse. The blessing is that it is so incredibly easy to distance myself from everything and not have to deal with it. The curses are not being readily available to spend time with my Dad on the remaining good days and not able to help on the bad.

Robin Williams
Robin William's widow, Susan Schneider Williams wrote an article this past week for the Journal of the American Academy of Neurology. I would actually call it a story more than an article. It is very well written and although I don't know her, I'm proud of her for sharing their story. Robin Williams was not diagnosed with LBD until after his death. She talks of their journey with LBD and although I hate that my dad has this stupid disease, I'm glad that he was diagnosed before he dies. Along with giving startling insight into LBD, it also talks of the amazing man that Robin Williams was. I've included the link below.
