I watched father suffer for nearly 15 years with this disease before he died at 76, now I am watching my mom go through the same thing-she is being brought for a visit tomorrow and only then will I know for sure if she will know who I am or have that look of fear on her face. This is very hard on everyone involved but for me the hardest part for me is wondering if or when it will happen to me-scares the crap out of me! I truly feel for anyone dealing with this horrible disease.
