Last night was a celebration of two beautiful human beings, Milton and Harriet Miller, parents of my dear friend and co-author, Dr. Bruce Miller. The #UCSF #MemoryAndAgingCenter was filled with love, music, art, poetry, and, of course, science. How honored I was to have my book with Bruce keep company, in the gift bag, with the gorgeous poems of #JaneHirshfield and Harriet's painting.

Although I am not a neurologist, I think a lot about the #variants of #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia. I wrote a #memoir about my father's #early-onset #Alzheimer's with #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF's #MemoryAndAgingCenter. It explains where in the #brain the initial assault happens and helps us understand why people can't find the right words and/or garble them and/or repeat them. After many years, I learned that my father had the #logopenic variant.

I am honored to be discussing #caregiving, with these other authors, at the #Kensington #Caregiver Summer #BookClub on August 9th from 1 to 3 pm in #SierreMadre. My focus will be on #dementia, specifically #Alzheimer's. I will share what I learned studying neurology for a year at #UCSF's #MemoryAndAgingCenter & what I learned writing #FindingTheRightWords, a tribute to my beloved father who had #early-onset AD, with the extraordinary, empathic, & brilliant #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller. #EndAlz
