A Christmas Miracle: Heartwarming Holiday Stories People Shared Online

This storyteller got a visit from her son for Christmas, but not in the way she was expecting. Her son lives with her, but has early-onset, late-stage Alzheimer’s Disease. Some days are better than others in terms of his memory. Christmas 2021 was a special day because our storyteller’s son woke up in a clear state of mind.

She tweeted that her son “woke up and was, inexplicably, ‘with us.’ It was unexpected.” Her son’s good day and clear state of mind was the best Christmas gift she could have imagined. She treasured the day and the precious time she got to spend with her son. Caring for someone with Alzheimer’s can be a challenge, but the love between people makes it all worth it.
