In 2021 my sister Stephanie and I embarked on a road trip across Australia with our mother Kay. We didn’t want to put her in a home so decided to do something different. Very different. We wanted to give her adventures, love and happiness while she could still enjoy it all.
This is a diary of our journey together and a story of our experience with dementia and the ways we dealt with the ever-changing world dementia brings. It is also a story of love, family, joy and community.
“Beautifully presented, bringing a gentle reality of the loving and caring of an aging parent facing dementia. The laughs, the tears, the frustration, the fear, all beautifully shared. ”
“A window into the reality of living with a loved one with dementia. Beautifully told and gut wrenchingly honest, this little book holds dear the ethos that love matters and this is surely a message the world needs to hear.”
