More quotes by Patti Davis
It's one thing to show your love for someone when everything is going fine and life is smooth. But when the 'in sickness and in health' part kicks in and sickness does enter your lives, you're tested. Your resilience is tested.
Patti Davis
It takes strength to make your way through grief, to grab hold of life and let it pull you forward.
Patti Davis
I think the earlier stages of Alzheimer's are the hardest. Particularly because the person knows that they are losing awareness. They're aware that they're losing awareness, and you see them struggling.
Patti Davis
That is your legacy on this Earth when you leave this Earth: how many hearts you touched.
Patti Davis
I really just wanted to be a writer, but people tell you, 'You should have a backup career,' so I thought, 'OK, I'll act.' That was the foolishness of my vision for my life - that my backup career would be completely undependable.
Patti Davis
The most ethical way to deal with an unethical situation would be to simply say: 'We did something wrong.' But nobody in a family like mine would ever respond like this.
Patti Davis
Decades later I would look into my father's eyes and try to reach past the murkiness of Alzheimer's with my words, my apology, hoping that in his heart he heard me and understood.
Patti Davis

Patti Davis
The house I grew up in had large plate-glass windows, which birds frequently crashed into headfirst. My father helped me assemble a bird hospital, consisting of a few shoe boxes, some old rags, and tiny dishes for water and food.
Patti Davis
Politics isn't what defines a person, and it shouldn't define a relationship. I made the mistake of letting that intrude on my relationships.
Patti Davis
I grew up in this era where your parents' friends were all called aunt and uncle. And then I had an aunt and an aunt. We saw them on holidays and other times. We never talked about it, but I just understood that they were a couple.
Patti Davis
People love the way they're capable of loving-but that's not always how you want them to love or how you think they should love.
Patti Davis
The memories stayed with him for so long, and stayed vivid. And it didn't matter to me that he'd already repeated that before. I could hear it forever.
Patti Davis
The thing about losing any loved one, I think, particularly in a long disease, is that you know that other people have gone through it and are going through it, but I think for every person it feels unique.
Patti Davis
Loss teaches you to figure things out as they come along.
Patti Davis
My father's body lies in a stone tomb high on a hill. People walk by, pause, think their own thoughts about him and move on, back to their own lives. I can never move on. He is everywhere.
Patti Davis
[On her father, Ronald Reagan:] How do you argue with someone who states that the people who are sleeping on the grates of the streets of America 'are homeless by choice'?
Patti Davis
And as far as false hope, there is no such thing. There is only hope or the absence of hope - nothing else.
Patti Davis
I don't think it's an accident who our parents are I believe we choose them. So maybe I chose my parents in order to effect change.
Patti Davis
You have to separate yourself from your parents. You do. In order to find yourself.
Patti Davis
