It's The Longest Goodbye. We All Need To Remember

Poignant and so true, and to think that according to other posts and research the answer to this horrible disease may just be our old friend Nicotine and that the WHO, FDA and the EU are trying to bet it banned. Makes me sick to think about it.

An Alzheimer's Poem

Do not ask me to remember. Don't try to make me understand.

Let me rest and know you're with me Kiss my cheek and hold my hand.

I'm confused beyond your concept. I am sad and sick and lost.

All I know is that I need you to be with me at all cost.

Do not lose your patience with me.

Do not scold or curse or cry. I can't help the way I'm acting, Can't be different though I try.

Just remember that I need you, That the best of me is gone.

Please don't fail to stand beside me,

Love me 'til my life is done.

I didn't think you did.

Fact is, some of us will end up there - be it falling to the disease ourselves or watching helpless as it takes someone we care about.

Ron I can now see the pic & it has also brought tears to my eyes.

My mum got hit by it. I just hope I escape it somehow or simply kick the proverbial b4 it can get hold of me. So far I'm just my paranoid and silly BUT non-smoking and vaping self.
