 ...At 60, it evident that I, will also be a casualty of Alzeimer. My grandfather died of the disease 25 years ago, my mother who is in a home also has been diagnosed. Her brother (my uncle passed away in January 2012. I will not take the test to verify it, but my mind is absorbing all the possible documenttation. And at the present I am caring for my mother-in-law also afflicted with the disease as a second generation. I am preparing my family for the possibility I,ll be a sufferer later on. It is true the more you find out about Alzeimer and the more you talk about it, the less scared you become. ...Wow. Chris, you've done it again, another very moving piece. |
