Alzheimers

Affects so many people’s

Lives, that we try hard being

Zealous, by offering them

Help and support for all those

Effected by this disease.

Involved in their care, and to

Maintain pride and dignity

Every day, so that we can

Remember them, and just how

Special they have always been.

So much truth in your words. One of my loved ones was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's. It's scary for both the person and those around when the cycles of confusion come. I can relate to your words. Thank you for sharing them and for your kind comment. Keep on writing! Karen

This illness causes us to lose our loved ones twice once to the illness and then again in death. It affected my mother, my husband's mother, and my husband's father. Keep writing. You chose a very good topic here. Have you read the book "The Notebook" and the movie with the same title? Sara
