With Love to Billy Deborah D Overbey

When my husband, Billy was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Dementia, it was such a devastating blow. I wrote my first poem about two years after his diagnosis. Since then, I have tried many forms of poetry to express my love for him. It has not been easy for him. He lost his freedom to drive and though he has forgotten a lot of things, he hasn't forgotten that. This book is a labor of love for him. It also has helped me when I am down to express in words on paper, what I am not able to say aloud
