Alzheimer's Quilt Initiative
My Dad. Such a wonderful and gentle man. His mind and body slowly succumbing to the effects of Alzheimer's disease. I struggle with trying to understand how a bright individual can end up with such a cruel disease. This is not only hard on the one with the disease, but equally, or even more of a burden on the caretaker, which is my Mom. My Dad still knew me last time I visited. I'm hoping he'll still know who I am when I see him in a few weeks.
