OfflineI know this isn't related to castle but Q&A Does Anybody out there have a relative or parent suffering from Alzehimers/ Dementia?
A month ago We had to make a decison to put my grandma in a nursing home. My mom and me and My family did a great job of taking care of her at home for close to five years but she recently got sick and the doctors recomended 24 hour care. So as hard as this was to make We did it
I went with my mom to visit her and a week ago Tuesday she knew who I was after my mom helped kind of and was glad to see me Kissed me kept patting my hand saying and she even kissesed me goodbye and told me to come see her again But Today She didn't show any emotion I tried holding her hand and she pulled away and when I went to say goodbye I kissed her and I got no response on no goodbye Kiss. But I vow to keep going cause she's still my Grandma and I know she can't help it just part of the disease
I Just want to say how thankful for a show like Castle cause after a day like today, going home and watching castle It instantly lifts my mood and I honestly think If I didn't have castle to look forward to on Mondays I might Not be here right now Castle is just such a great show whether it be the talented actors/actresses or the fabulous story lines It instantly gives ne a sense of peace and Happiness. Even If it's just for having castle on for an hour on Monday nights I know that for that short time that I will have peace.
So Thankyou Castle Because you give me a reason to make my life worth living

OfflineThat's a very sweet story, castlefan87. You should really send it to the show, or to Andrew Marlowe, Stana, Nathan or somebody. They appreciate hearing from fans who love the show, but I'm sure would REALLY appreciate hearing that the show got you through some tough times.
My grandmother went through the same thing a few years ago before finally passing away. It was very hard on my mom and aunt to see her go downhill, put her in a nursing home, and sell her house and all her things. But it was the best thing for her since she couldn't care for herself.
Personally, Castle helped me get through a job search when I found out earlier this year that I was being laid off. It gave me something to look forward to and provided a welcome distraction. I was very fortunate to have found another job that was even better than my last one. When I look back on those several months, I don't remember ever being terribly stressed out for a long period of time. This website helped immensely too.
Hope all goes well with your family.

OfflineThanks for the kind thoughts, I'm just so thankful for having castle in my life and this board and the fans. Yesterday when I posted that was me venting all my stress and frustration out but today is a much better day. Plus my fam and I just got invited to go for the weekend down to North Carolina and stay with my aunt and uncle at there beach condo. So Nice Vacay to look forward to Could really use it considering that we haven't been anywhere in four years ( Trip/vacation wise)
Is there anyway to email my post to Castle Producers or Maybe Nathan or Stana? If so does anybody have an address

OfflineThe Only reason I'm not comfortabl mailing it is I don't want the parents to find out what I did and I don't want to drudge up any upsetting connections with my Letter Cause right now is a really emotional time for my mom( My Grandma Her Mom) and the less she knows about what I wrote the better and she's the one who puts stuff in the mailbox So Thanks think I might check Stana's website

Offlinecastlefan87 ~ I am so very sorry to hear about your grandmother.
Alzheimer's is such a cruel disease to the family and friends of the person affected. My uncle had it several years ago.
I can understand how it might be uncomfortable to send something so sensitive about a loved one from your home. You may feel like you are betraying your family by speaking openly about a very private matter.
I think you are a very caring and sensitive person to respect your mother's feeling like you do.
I hope you do hear back from Stana.
Wishing you and your family all the best during the holiday season! Hugs ~ maggie

Offlinecastlefan87,
I am sorry to hear that about your grandmother. I'm a support worker and one of the people I help has Alzehimers and it can be very tough, half the time they don't remember who we are or why we are there. But we keep going and helping them out and making sure they are safe. The work I do is, mostly, working with people one on one to becoming independent and being involved with the community they live in. Its a tough job, sometimes, but it also can be very rewarding.
So coming home to Castle every Monday night is a great release from a tough day at work. I also enjoy listening to music, that calms me down, as well as chilling with friends and family.
So thank you ABC and the writers of Castle for having an awesome show on the air. And for having the most AWESOME cast of people on one show!!! Nathan, Stana, and the whole gang.
well time to write, and go to bed.
Love. Peace. Music. Castle.
Goodnight and love you all.

OfflineThanks to Maggieb and NinaAbbyisLOST It's nice to know that people are thinking about me and my family. Went with my mom today to see her and she was sort of like her old self ( whatever that is) She seemed to know who I was but not my mom and she was glad to see me and I did get hugs and multiple kisses today. So I would call today a good day, But what will friday bring when we go to visit. Only Time will tell. But If we can get through friday then the next day we'll be with My fam and other relatives at their beach condo in Duck North Carolina, Just what we all need a peaceful weekend at the beach.
Thanks again for all the kind thought and prayers. It's nice that all us castle fans are so supportive of each other and such a close knit family kind of
Love ya all Lindsay
