    Alzheimer's is an unforgiving disease, in which memories are erased one by one each day, and you never know which ones will be next. Sometimes, it can be what you did a couple hours ago...

    ...or an old memory you never thought you'd forget.

    But there are some moments you never want to let go of, as hard as they were to take in at the time.

    They remind us that all life is fragile and unpredictable.

    There are also the memories that make you laugh at the absurdity in life...

    ...as well as the memories that get you up and going in the morning.

    Although loved ones may eventually be forgotten, they will never forget about you.
