A morning of surrender and reaching out for help turns into a beautiful day when Peggy snaps a beautiful picture of her mother in the backyard. This simple photograph invokes loving memories of her Grandmother and captures a pink cloud moment of grace and gratitude.

For Peggy, shopping with her mother followed by a lovely lunch with the Sweeney sisters was a favorite mother/daughter bonding activity. However, shopping now with their new unwelcome friend, Alzheimer's, is a different story altogether. 

Peggy Sweeney-McDonald shares her stories of love and life in the Alzheimer's zone while living with her mother after she was diagnosed. 

This is Episode 2: Meatball Madness -A crazy night in the Sweeney kitchen when my mother who has Alzheimer's decides she wants to make her meatballs and spaghetti.
