LIVING WITH LEWY BODY DEMENTIA | A DAY IN THE LIFE 

I felt super nervous putting this video out! Please be kind! 💗

Your love for each other is stronger than any medical diagnosis.

as a mother of a grown son, my heart is full watching the way you love him and the kindness in your heart for his tough journey... he is blessed you are his wife . Jesus must be smiling when he watches you together

you talk about the VA. US vets would like to hear about Jasons service. Watching you two together is pure joy!! He is funny as hell!!

Humbled and moved to tears. So much love and beauty!! Leslie your joy and diligence in your home are truly inspiring. Thank-you both for your vulnerable sharing!

I am sad you were nervous about putting video out.My father had Lewy Body and now my sister has it. Love what you are doing and send you warm support.

Your home is gorgeous. You have a knack for decorating!

I love you mom and dad. 💗 You're both amazing.

When he was hugging your doggie, I was thinking, she should go over there and join them! Such a tender moment! 🙎🏼‍♀️🐶🙍🏻‍♂️🙏🏻🥰

I love cowboy Jason, prayers humor stays and gaging goes away. I'm amazed how perfect your home is.

Tender video. I loved when he was holding the dog so tenderly and so lovingly. It is good he cooks. Keeps his mind active and clearly he makes good food. He is always smiling and he has a funny sense of humor. I feel you both are doing well handling this as best you can. It's good to see. I love your candles.

Such a sweet man, God loves him so!!

I don’t know what to say... here is a a tear, a hug, a heart, a prayer

I think you are a charming couple, and I am so sorry you both are going through this. But you both seem so focused on each other, and your love for each other will help you. I hope with all my heart that Jason's Dementia progresses very slowly and that you can enjoy this time.

Don’t know how this came to my feed. I am a nurse, I have a 66 year old brother a few months ago I determined that this is what he has, Lewis body Dementia. I subscribed immediately..you are an amazing person, you all are so so sweet. Thanks to your husband for being a Soldier…he is an amazing man. I love your home. You are inspiring..those candles awesome. God Bless you all.

I’m so happy for you both that Jason had a good day! I don’t know how anyone could be disappointed by that! I really enjoyed this video, and I hope that in the future you’ll continue to make more. You are both such genuine people, and it’s so beautiful to see the love you share through good times and bad. No disease could ever take that away. May God bless you, and may you have a wonderful Christmas! 💕🙏🏻🎄

I love the smell of coffee also but I cannot drink it! That’s the best smell in a house, coffee brewing! Love your videos! Brought tears to my eyes when your husband was loving on his fur baby!

You have a beautiful home and to be able to laugh together is so special. It’s alright to take it minute by minute treasure every moment. God will get you through.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄

Bless his heart he put the toaster and coffee pot in the frig.. At least he put them away Right ? LOL

Bless your sweet heart. I can’t imagine anyone being unkind to you! You are both so precious. ❤️ Prayers for you and your family!

I can't imagine people being unkind how awful. That was so lovely the dog cuddling him precious ❤ Hope you both have a lovely christmas.

Looks like there has been a lifetime of joy in that house. Fun getting greeted by a smiling cowboy! Presh hugs with the dog. Love how you handle everything with humor. Your love slows the progression of the disease. Treasure in heaven for both of you. Jason is so heroic to let the world in on his struggle.

Jason is adorable. I love how sweet you are to each other. This disease it awful and you're making it bareable for each other. God bless.

It’s sad that you ask us to be kind. Who wouldn’t be. It’s not easy but you make it look easy.

Oh, sweet Leslie! I am so sorry that there are those that would not see all the benefits to this video! The info you share and the education that it offers is so important; you need not apologize. My favorite parts are the memories you are recording of Jason's sweet spirit (cuddling the pooch, returning your hugs and laughter) - you need never to regret sharing with those of us who love you both. The rest can talk to the wind ... they don't realize how blessed they are to not be living with health issues.

You are such a special couple!! If anyone is mean about this video, then they are not a nice person and I wouldn't worry about them for one second. You two are amazing and putting your life out there like this is difficult, but thank you for helping others understand what you are both going through. I love your cozy home and I love your loving relationship. It is a beautiful, messy life....just like everyone's!! Love your channel.

Charming abode!!! Charming husband!!! Charming wife!!! Your love together is charming!!!

Went thru this with my Mom for 16 years, so sorry this happened to him. It’s very tough on the caregiver. Sending love and prayers 💕

I’m happy he’s having a good day. May he have many more. God bless you both.

Hi Leslie and Jason! Thank you for sharing this video. It is so generous of you two to share the details of this condition with a community beyond your circle of family and friends. I am learning so much that years ago I didn’t even realize I was wanting to know. Love Jason’s silly sense of humor and your infectious laughter in response to his antics. And the random hugs♥️♥️ you share. You two are a sweet couple. Jason, you were far more active than I’d anticipated you’d be with chores that are part of everyone’s day, all very relatable, though I cannot claim to produce meals as consistently well received as yours! At the end of the day, Jason, when you were stretched out in your recliner, you seemed to be in that zone you mentioned in an earlier video where you don’t want to talk. Thank you for sharing that moment. Again, you are so generous with your time. It is more appreciated than you can know. Leslie, your candles came out beautifully. Hope your creative endeavors help recharge your batteries when recharging is necessary. I wish you and your family joy and peace over the holiday season in your warm, cozy, charming abode! On Christmas morning I will make some coffee and raise a mug to the two of you!! Merry Christmas 🎄

That is so awesome that he had a good day!! Good day’s are a lot better than the. And ones!! It was so cute to see Jason and the 🐕have their moment together, that is so precious!! God Bless !!🙏

It took a lot of courage to share this day. Jason did well, but it's obvious that he is struggling. I love the laughter and working together and doggie companionship. You are a precious caregiver, Leslie. Thank you for sharing the commitment it takes to care for a loved one. My mom has MS and is starting to struggle with dementia. I see the same loving care in my dad that you give to Jason. Heroes!!

I cant understand if anyone isnt kind. You put your self, your heart out there. Thanks for everything you do. It is inspiring. Also to support every body in the same situation or a difficult situation. Bless you. Bless your family

A Charming Abode , I was curious if the videos will continue through the entirety of his illness ? I think this can be a very informational series . Its scary I can imagine but the help that this provides is priceless . A virtual in of the good , bad and the ugly of this devastating disease. As you have experienced the new things that slowly appear or sadly disappear with Jason can be very scary and heart breaking and for others to see that all these things are a possibility down the road with their loved one , can maybe help them prepare a bit and not being as blindsided on top of all the other natural emotions . Its a heavy load for the both of you and I think what you and Jason are doing is a gift . Stick with it and never let the hateful ppl be a hindrance to putting new video's up , in fear of what others might say/think should never stop you from spreading awareness to this bit** of a disease . People that may have something shitty to say well just understand you never know when this tragic situation may happen to you or someone you love . Thank you A Charming Abode and of course Jason for being brave , open and vulnerable.

That is so beautiful to see the love between you two!

Feel so happy when he makes you laugh then sad when he doesn’t feel well this disease is cruel I pray for him you and all of us out there affected .

You guys are so cute together. I love how the older dogs takes care of him, sleeping beside him all the time. I appreciate your videos. My mother suffered with alzheimers, so I relate to the caregiving challenges. Happy holidays!

My sister’s husband has Dementia and he is 87. She has to pretty much do everything. I totally understand what you’re going through. It hard and life isn’t fair. I’m so glad you have the Lord to lean on. God bless you both!❤️🙏

Don't ever feel nervous about sharing something so sacred to you. This hugged at my heartstrings, and brought some tears to my eyes. It also brought out chuckles, and a true feeling of admiration and respect. Jason is a warrior with a huge heart and amazing sense of humor. You, Leslie are an angel. Your love and caring of Jason is what we should all exhibit to those we are closest to. You are both blessed with the love of each other. Thank you for sharing this. On a lighter note, your home is just so beautiful.

You guys are such a sweet couple. I really appreciate that you show us and share with us your life. My dad is showing signs of dementia, and I find your videos really helpful and comforting, showing us how life just keeps on going. Thank you!

Leslie, you’re positive energy and sense of humor makes your lives functional and fun! I enjoy your videos. Merry Christmas!

Your home is so incredibly BEAUTIFUL 🎄☃️🎁

You two are just so beautiful together.... I love how playful you are ...how you have humor...both of you are such witnesses of living a vibrant life ...I’m glad you both have your faith to lean into ....Your transparency will help many... I’m sorry he has Lewy Body Dementia for you both ...your handling it with such dignity, grace and love ...thank you to Jason for his service and sacrifices...and to you as well. Merry Christmas

You two are so sweet to watch. I have actually never seen anything except your videos about the Lewy Body. I can tell you two are bonded tightly with a lot of love. Thank you for being open to share your story. I am sure it will help many people.

I am amazed by your creativity and energy. The candles are beautiful and beautifully packaged. Your home is lovely and is a clear reflection of you as a person. Lovely. My father in law had Lewy Body Dementia with his Parkinson’s. It’s a very very rough road. I loved him so much and the affects of the disease broke my heart. Thank you for doing this, Jason. You are truly helping more people than you’ll ever know.

So glad he was having a good day! Every day is different and I know you experience struggles. I. Was so touched by the way he held your dog and how the dog snuggled on his shoulder. It was so sweet! Animals are incredibly intuitive. God bless!

Thank you for having the courage to do this!❤️ It is especially helpful for others who have a high chance of developing the disease in the future. Don’t forget to take breaks for yourself. Being a caregiver for someone you love that has dementia is very difficult and draining. Take care!

I am in the midst of watching this and I want to thank you for sharing these parts of your life. I don't know much about the disease except that it's what Robin Williams suffered, and I adored him most of my life. What I read about it confused me a lot, and it was heartbreaking. Though I didn't know him personally, I love his comedy. You guys opening up about Jason having this and how you live with it is a massive education. You are so brave for sharing this, and I appreciate the glimpse into how you live with this. I do not have this-I have other health problems- but the grace with which you went through the day somehow gave me a feeling of hope. Thank you for that. I hope people are being respectful and it sucks that you had to ask for kindness in the comments. I hope people have been. Jason, thank you for your service. I think you are amazingly brave to share this with us.

I’m so glad you both had a good day and here’s to many more. Thank you for your courage to share and educate and bring awareness. Lots of warm loving hugs to you both from Australia. Rock on Jason! 💚🌷🌷🌷

Don't worry about your posts. People are always going to make unkind comments. You two have a great relationship and laugh a lot! By the way, you have a beautiful home!

Good morning. Your video just popped up in my feed and I felt compelled to watch. We never know what individuals lives are like behind closed doors and Thank you for having the courage to post this..It truly is a learning experience for all that watch. The abundance of laughter and love between the two of you is heartwarming. Bless you both and will keep you in my prayers 🦋

Awww, hugging his dog is so sweet. You’re a beautiful couple and an inspiration to others who are going thru the same thing. 🥰🌺❤️❤️

Your dog seems to know just to lay still and love on each other, so sweet. Animals are the best.

I'm so happy to see he had a GREAT day, he is so funny and goofy, I wouldn't want him to have a bad day because we all know unfortunately those bad are coming, I just pray it's no time soon. Keeping y'all and definitely him in my prayers. 🙏

That is so precious how your doggie rests on him. You can see the love for each other. Your comment about how people want to see the bad not good ... not me. I just love seeing how much you both love each other and how much you support him. My mom had Alzheimers (RIP Mommy), you have to be a tough cookie. Hang in there.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have been searching what may be going on with my husband and this has been a great help. One strange behavior has been occasional dry heaves for no reason so when I saw your husband's "gagging" episode, it sent an actual chill down my spine. I'm not sure what the future holds for us, but I pray we meet it with the same positive attitudes, love and humor that you have.

Thank you to You and Jason both, it was actually quite relaxing to watch you two horsing around in the morning getting through your day. It is much the same around here. Love it. It can be done.

First of all, Jason, thank you for your service to our great country. It’s because of people like you that we have our freedoms. Thank you both for sharing your journey. You’re a special couple. Praying for you both.

Thank you, both for sharing! Your home is lovely and I enjoy watching you tidy up! Prayers for Jason and you! Wishing you both many continued blessings! 💕

Thank goodness he has you. You rock girl! I'm jealous about your productivity. Your Christmas decorations are beautiful. And he's delightful. This is my first time watching. I'm already hooked so will be following as a new subscriber. Thank you for doing these videos. It's so important to get the public educated. I hope he gets comfortable enough not to worry about having a bad day. It is what it is... none of us are perfect. Soldier on!

Thank you both for sharing your journey with us. What you share is a gift of knowledge for those who might not understand. Others can learn from this journey you both share. I’m a retired med nurse/caregiver for our veterans in an Alzheimer’s/Dementia unit. I retired early due to MS diagnosis but I loved my job tremendously. The loving, caring, relationship you share is wonderful. Those laughs, hugs, smiles, struggles, etc., etc., are real and your love for each other is precious. I know you will have good days and not so good days. Embrace each moment. May God bless you both ❤️

You are so precious. God is with you. I am a nurse and so touched by your sweet and gentle spirit. I am praying that Jason doesn't suffer too much. Prayers for you to have strength and support as you need.

God bless you guys! I wish nothing but the best answers and care plan ahead for Jason! Keep the videos coming, great job!

You’re amazing. The love between you too is something many people wished they had! 💕 I love how the dog is always next to him!! 💕 So cute!!

The way the dog comforted Jason was so beautiful. I wept a few tears. Thanks for sharing.

You keep such a positive attitude!! I prayed all the way through this 🙏❤️ I will keep praying for healing for him and more good days for you both !! 😊

When you prayed at dinner I prayed too, for you both. Precious couple.

This is my first time to watch your blog, I will continue to watch , as I have a brother that was recently diagnosed with early onset of dementia. I want to learn from you to be so compassionate and uplifting. I think you will help guide a lot of people by filming this. Thanks for having such a joyful attitude, I want to be that way too. Prayers to you both, be blessed, and I hope y’all have a wonderful Christmas!

Thank you both for being vulnerable and sharing this day with us. I'm really happy that Jason had a good day. I know from experience that often times they aren't good. You take wonderful care of Jason, remember to take care of you too. God bless you both.

I hope that Jason knows how much he has helped others by sharing his story. I love the way you too can still find joy in your lives Despite all the troubles you are going through.

I am in awe over you! Your energy and positive attitude are so uplifting! Parts of your touching video made me cry. I enjoyed seeing your beautiful home too that you so carefully decorated. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for putting yourselves out there. I love that you know him so well (the vest)....and I see why you fell for him 30 years ago....he's such a good sport...and his sense of humor tells me all I need to know. You two really are blessed....even though you've hit this bumpy road along your journey. God bless.

So kind of u both to share to help others. I'm retired now but, use to work with dementia. I learned so much from them and miss and loved them so much!

You have a beautiful home. You have great energy and Jason is a lucky guy to have you. The video was beautiful and touching. You have a lot on your shoulders and you’re handling with grace. Wishing you both good days and good health. Thanks for sharing. We should all appreciate and enjoy every day we have. ❤️❤️❤️

My absolute favorite part was him standing there snuggling the dog. I can relate! ❤️❤️ Y'all are so sweet!

So many of us have been touched by this disease and I was fortunate to have a wonderful *mentor* take me under their wing and share their journey with me as I dealt with my own. It made a world of difference and I didn’t feel so alone. Thank you for being so open and honest. You will never know how many you are helping in their own journeys. You are a beautiful couple with amazing hearts. Thank you and God bless💜

Thank you sir, for serving our country. You both are so brave. My prayers for a lovely life. I loved his moment with the dog. Peace and Love

You and your husband are courageous to share your story on RU-vid. Thank you, you are helping many who are suffering. 🙏🏻

Thank you. This will help someone who is newly diagnosed. Your home is so lovely.

Love how y’all laugh together. Please tell Jason I thank him for his service. Merry Christmas !

I found myself intermittently smiling and tearing up. Thank you so much for sharing more of your touching story. I think of the two of you every day. Sending you good thoughts and 💕 from our home to yours. 💕💕💕

Omg! I get so excited to see a new video..I just think the world of you two, and I'm so grateful you share Jason's story. I'm like a sponge I wanna know everything about things I have no idea about. I understand dementia I was an NA my adult life but I expect it in someone in their late 70s 80s 90s not someone in their 40s in the prime of life. So I hope there's nothing anyone can say that would make you two give it up. I'm very appreciative of every experience you share with the world. I can't wait to get together with my family for the holidays so I can tell them all about the story of Jason and his wife that has touched my ❤️. I will continue to keep you both in my prayers I only wish you both the very best. Again I thank you for sharing this story with us. Merry blessed Christmas

What a wonderful couple you are! With your positive attitude und humor you will even get through tough times. And it makes the good times even better! Love, how you decorated your entire house... Lots of hearty greetings to you from Germany, (hugs also for the adorable fur babies)- stay just as nice as you are!

I love you two so much, reminds me of when Ken was still here, oh how I miss those warm hugs. God be with you both!

What a sweet video! Thanks for sharing. I really like the captions you put up, they help me understand what isn't your normal. AND I love the candles!!! You have a wonderful life together

Completely reminds me of my life with my husband... keeping you in my prayers. So much more...

Thank you for letting us into a day of your lives. I'm happy Jason had a good day, and I pray for many more for him. You have a lovely home!!!

A beautiful video of your days with Jason. God bless you both and may He slow the progression of Jason's dementia. I enjoy watching your videos. Keep up positive attitude. 💚🙏

Thank you for sharing. The tenderness you share is beautiful. I’m happy Jason had a good day. Prayers for many more🙏❤️

You two are wonderful and a blessing to the rest of us. Thank you for your openness.

Wow the love and patience you all have even the dog !! Inspirational ! You asked for kindness. You guys wrote the book on kindness xxx

This was helpful, interesting and entertaining. Very nice editing. You two are such a great couple. Your home is so beautifully decorated. Thanks for sharing.

I wear my flip flops year round. :-) This was really interesting to see, and I appreciate you being so open and allowing us in. Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

Your video is eye-opening. I hope you know we weren't hoping to see the bad stuff, seeing the good stuff, like Jason's wicked sense of humor brings us joy. Thank you for sharing your life dealing with Lewy Body Dementia. Also, I wish I had a fraction of your design skills and eye for detail. I enjoy your positive outlook on life.

Thank you both so much for sharing a small part of your life. Glad Jason had a good day. You two are so sweet together. And how you handle it is an inspiration 🙏💕🙏💕

Keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers. You are such a lovely couple! It’s so nice to see Jason having a good day! Wishing him many, many more!

Broke my heart when he was gagging..😢 I love your joyful spirit!! I know that must carry through on the hard days.🧡 I really enjoy your cute relationship. So creative too!!

So glad he had a good day. Your candles are absolutely beautiful! Great video guys!

Merry Christmas sweet lady. Both you and Jason are beautiful, strong people who have bern hit with a catastrophic illness. Neurological illnesses are devastating both to the person and the family. I know this. You show love, strength, kindness, patience and are a huge inspiratiom. I’m not Christian but I keep you both in my daily prayers. You are amazing.

I ty Jason, for your dedication and service to our country.🇺🇸⭐️❤️. I help the military and veterans with PTSD, other situations that come with serving. A very touching , heart warming couple. GOD BLESS you and your family. In my 27 years of nursing, I have had been blessed to take care of so many wonderful people with LBD. I love watching y'all together. I want to order a candle to support y'all and to keep y'all and everyone dealing with this condition in my heart. I always do anyway but this will be kept as a very sentimental unused token of love that you made yourself. GOD BLESS y'all and your family.🙏❤️SC Nurse.❤️
