Description
There is an area in town where there are often birds on top of a telephone wire over the freeway. When Mom was in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease (and I believe she did this before her illness with my dad) she would see these birds on the wire and say, “LOOK!” Every time she saw them it was like the first time and she was always so excited. That little “LOOK!” has kind of become her trademark. You see, at her funeral, my husband said the eulogy and he told everyone the story. He asked them to think of Alice when they see birds on a wire. Friends and family have told me countless times that they have seen birds on a wire and thought of Alice. How wonderful is that?!
