“That’s what Alzheimer’s does: it’s a thief in the night, stealing precious pictures from our lives while we sleep.”
Wendy Mitchell, Somebody I Used to Know

“Logos doesn't always have to win a day.”
Wendy Mitchell, Somebody I Used to Know: A Memoir

“Don’t be fooled into thinking that a diagnosis of dementia is just for one person. Yes, the disease might be inside our brains, but the diagnosis will not change one life: it will change all of those around us.”
Wendy Mitchell, What I Wish People Knew About Dementia
