Labor Day became a federal holiday in 1894, recognizing the hard-won achievements of the American labor movement. But for many workers, like those in healthcare, the work never stops. While many of us enjoy a long weekend, they’ll be on the front lines, providing care and comfort because medical needs don't take a holiday. It’s as true today as it was 125 years ago.

This , let's give a special nod to the nurses, doctors, paramedics, and other professionals who’ve been punching in all weekend. Thank you for your unwavering dedication and sacrifice!💙

Dementia looks different for everyone, and symptoms will also be different depending on what kind of dementia someone has.

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently. This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

By knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

If I get dementia, I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things.

1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Mom- it’s Margaret.”
NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety.

1. If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality.

2. If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it.

3. If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you.

4. If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me.

5. If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself.

6. If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded.

7. If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am.

8. If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends.

9. If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past.

10. If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me.

11. If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated.

12. If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need.

13. If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room.

14. If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live.

15. If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often.

16. If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault.

17. If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot.

18. If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place.

19. If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings.

20. If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes.

21. If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.”

Please share in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

Who remembers being smothered in LOVE... and VICKS as a child? This miracle ointment was created by a loving father.

🎥 Did you know that the famous Vicks ointment was born from the heartbreak of a father? 💔

One night in the late 1800s, in North Carolina, a young boy looked up at his father with tearful eyes and whispered, “Dad… my chest hurts.” He couldn’t stop coughing. No syrup worked. Nothing brought relief.

That father, Lunsford Richardson, was a small-town pharmacist. But that night, he wasn’t just a chemist—he was a desperate dad.

He locked himself in his little lab and mixed together everything he had: camphor, menthol, eucalyptus. He was searching for air, for peace. What he found was a thick ointment that, when rubbed on his children’s chests, helped them breathe and finally rest. This would become the Vicks we all know today.

At first, no one believed in him. He knocked on doors, was met with laughter and doubt. But in 1918, when the flu swept across the world, his formula became a beacon of hope. People couldn’t get enough. The ointment born from grief began to heal thousands.

But perhaps the most heartbreaking part: one of his sons died before he discovered the formula. He never got to see his own child healed. That emptiness pushed Lunsford to keep going.

💡 Today, the smell many of us associate with a mother’s care is also a reminder of a father’s love that refused to give up.
