I have a background in Interior Design/Art and found my passion for floral design mid way through my career and I have never looked back! I was honored to receive my Certificate in Advanced Floral and Wedding Design from the amazing Mila School of European Floral Design. I am an artist at heart. (And love to play in the dirt!) Blooms never fail to touch someones heart or put a smile on someones face, regardless of the occasion. I have the best job in the whole world! Creating, sharing and giving translation to someone’s gesture of love, appreciation or care. It is my hope to bring meaning to your next occasion. https://www.ckamdesign.com/services daily 0.75 2024-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/4a36d17f-62d4-4f8c-94a2-e034f49c2280/B7BFEF40-C50B-4FAF-A2DA-491F119C85EF.jpeg https://www.ckamdesign.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2021-04-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614796289564-6QDISJFBF4HPAHCC8UC0/IMG-4509.jpg Testimonials The words from people you love matter! https://www.ckamdesign.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1598227210883-EMTD4AGN21KH7J8540YM/IMG-9738%2B%25281%2529.jpg Home Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1590475410697-DJ78IL2HQ3119ATQVCGT/IMG_0060.JPG Home Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1f27b98a-26c9-484f-8d36-27e5fb80b6e6/IMG-6738.jpg Home Testimonials (Coming Soon) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/0936dd47-2dbe-4199-b844-f58299237cc0/A3748AD1-781F-46BC-8375-6005A8C1E2C7.jpeg Home Floral Blog (Coming Soon) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614810313456-YGK2UD6PS737HT2JLUSJ/IMG-8677.jpg Home - Hello!

Once a likeable and dependent man of pride and strength, he became someone I barely recognized. I had always known him as a frugal and loyal rule follower with an unrivaled work ethic. He loved horses, race cars, and motorcycles, and his bright blue eyes and smile could light up a room. In high school they gave him the nickname “Billy Blue Eyes.” But the summer of 2017 was a turning point. By then, he had completely lost his capacity for empathy; he would make hurtful or offensive remarks and just laugh when I pointed them out. Repetition was another symptom – he would say the same phrases over and over again, drive the same route, and show up at the same places unannounced. At one point a friend filed a restraining order due to this behavior. Dad began saying that people at work were out to get him. Then, in November 2018, my hardworking father, who had never lost a job in his life, was let go. To make matters worse, I soon found out he had been financially exploited. In 2019 an ER visit resulted in a scan that showed shrinkage of the frontal lobe. A follow-up consult with the neurologist lasted only 20 minutes: The doctor took one look at the scan and diagnosed him with bvFTD. He said that I should place my dad in a facility “or he will end up in jail.” My dad was just 62 years old, and I was in a state of disbelief and denial. My denial was short-lived, however, as it quickly became apparent that I must take away dad’s driver’s license and get him 24/7 care. We simply could not risk any more arrests or financial devastation. Our introduction to memory care brought with it the realization of how unknown FTD is, even within the medical community. After spending thousands upon thousands of dollars, and enduring innumerable experiences with professionals who did not understand FTD, we were blessed to finally find a facility where my dad receives excellent care. The staff at Arden Courts Senior Living in Palos Heights,IL communicate well, and constantly ask questions to improve their understanding of FTD. During this very difficult time I am comforted that they have his best interests at heart. I know that my dad is safe, and that he can feel my love for him. Dad was diagnosed with Covid-19 in May, and is currently on hospice. While I know that he is in the end stages of FTD, I will be by his side until the end, and I will make it my life’s mission to help those affected by FTD. If I can use my experience to help even one other family, I know that would make my dad proud. Update: Dad lost his battle too FTD February 9, 2022 and I was fortunate enough to have not left his side even until the last minute. https://www.ckamdesign.com/my-mission-3 daily 0.75 2023-03-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614398174417-NJTENEBGYL3K0F1Q40CW/IMG-3342.JPG My Mission (Copy) - My Dad & I 1980 A smile that could light up a room https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614813024786-V23OSUGM3RR4S5CVNRI2/IMG-5498.jpg My Mission (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614810581562-3EN7MUKARO7AAZZKJ8OZ/IMG-9798.jpg My Mission (Copy) - FTD Hotshot Challenge Rare Disease 2021 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ebe7e38a8505a5aa405e817/1614811698317-LEFJR3889632TDDSATAA/IMG-4147.jpg My Mission (Copy) - A Daughter's Mission of Love by Christina Kamarauskas The months and years leading up to my dad’s bvFTD diagnosis in February 2019 were chaotic and confusing.
