After watching the progression of my father's Alzheimer's and then his death from complications, I can say that I would want to die before my kids had to deal with that.
Dad had no idea who any of us were, was a "runner"constantly searching for home and got mean towards the end. He was the most gentle person so this personality change was really difficult to watch.
I heard a statistic this week that by age 85, 50% of us will have Alzheimer's.
Live each day to it's fullest.
Sending strength to both of you.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
