I hate to admit it, but I've only done a bit better than my youngest brother. I thought I could handle our mother's dementia, Alheimer's. What a cruel disease. It truly does lay a person's true nature out there for all to see. What is left of a person as the disease progresses seems to be their true nature without inhibitions. I hope they come up with a cure or at least halt the progression of this truly horrible disease. I do not intend to wait until the end stages of that disease to do what my mother said she intended, but is now incalpable of implementing.
