I'm sorry to he...Hey, Ron, how's it going?<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your grandfather. You're so right about the difficulties and challenges of losing your mind. It is so awful for the families who have to take care of their loved ones.<br /><br />I know I'm being bitter, but I find it hard to believe that we haven't found a cure for this yet.<br /><br />Take care of yourself, buddy, and, as always, thanks for stopping by!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-89233093116887221922017-04-03T18:44:18.559-07:002017-04-03T18:44:18.559-07:00Rob, even in writing something so bittersweet as t...Rob, even in writing something so bittersweet as this, your writing is so exquisite.<br /><br />My grandfather, my mothers' father, was diagnosed with dementia which eventually turned into Alzheimer's. It was heartbreaking to witness. My mother was so attentive and dedicated to him for the last year of his life. It was especially hard for her because she was so very close to her father.<br /><br />I know we all must die, however, I think losing your mind is much more difficult and challenging than losing your body. Because if your body is ill, you still have your mind. But if your mind is ill, you don't have your mind or your body.<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing this story, buddy. Beautiful ending.<br /><br />Have a great week! <br /><br /> Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-83699245761064722982017-04-03T06:05:14.162-07:002017-04-03T06:05:14.162-07:00@Bijoux:

Yes, it's so terrible to know you...Hi, Jay.<br /><br />Yes, it's so terrible to know you're losing someone even if they're standing right in front of you. And every time I forget someone's name I wonder if this is an early warning sign for me.<br /><br />To be honest, I do have a tendency to seek out the dark memories. I'm trying to retrain my mind to look toward the light and not the night.<br /><br />Take care!Rob Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741955202727936194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-23893709607426752872017-04-03T05:58:41.570-07:002017-04-03T05:58:41.570-07:00What a terrible thing, dementia is.

I really feel for you, with those dark memories waiting to jump out at you whenever there's an association .. and of course, because it is a chronic condition, the associations must be legion.Jayhttp://sparkingsynapse.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214458.post-59225623885435758002017-04-03T04:39:57.185-07:002017-04-03T04:39:57.185-07:00I'm so sorry, Rob.
