Re: Alzheimer's

One of my cousins (who's about 20 years older than I am) was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 6 months ago.

This lady was the kind who went out of her way to say hello to you, always had a smile on her face and genuinely a caring person. She was Godmother to my sister for her confirmation.

My sister told me she had just seen her a couple weeks before I arrived in Michigan. My sister said when she went up to her to say hello, she looks in my sister's eyes and says, "I should know you shouldn't I?" \:\( She's trying so hard. My sister explained who's daughter she was and pointed out my parents.

She is the first person, related that has been stricken with Alzheimers. If I were filfthy rich and wanted to put millions behind a disease, for some reason this disease would make me want to contribute to a cure. It's just plain horrible.
