5/16 Alzheimer's

Watching this movie depressed me and really really scared me. It made me think of all the times that my grandpa forgets his glasses or his keys. It made me wonder if those could be signs. It made me wonder if I would become a victim. And I'll never know until it happens. Until watching the movie I was really unaware that those diagnosed with Alzheimer's are fully aware of what's to come. They are forced to live every day knowing that on day they'll wake up and not know their friends or family or how to perform their once daily tasks. I could not imagine living with such a disease. I also could not imagine being the families who live with Alzheimer's patients. Hoping that the person will pass on just so the individual is finally at rest; that must be absolutely terrible. Thinking about it really scares me and I see now that all I can do is hope that a cure is found and quickly, before my loved ones or myself can possibly get it.
