Mamaw Duncan turned 82 on March 12 and once again the Duncans gathered to celebrate. My sweet grandmother has battled alzheimers for 11 yrs now. Through it all she has remained the sweetest, kindest lady (i know some people turn violent), and she loves the babies. 5 minutes before this pic was taken she was trying to communicate with Brock and was making making faces, and touching him so sweetly. It was a natural response for her and that is amazing to me since she doesn't respond to much anymore, but the babies have always perked her up and she always says "Pretty Boy" The toughest part is having to watch my grandfather dealing with this, they have been married 61 yrs and I cannot even imagine what he must emotionally endure, but he has been a true witness of upholding your marriage vows as he has been by her side every step of the way and she has stayed at home the entire process and been taken care of by him and others. This has been the greatest example of love and support I have seen in a marriage, through good and bad they have stuck it out and are a true testimony to what marriage should be.
