It is, as others have mentioned, a terrible disease. <br /><br />I am a little envious of your fresh weather and 4 seasons. I thought it was getting cooler here, but I was fooling myself.Tint~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15237375362227902198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226313511003221518.post-7954746592231980152009-04-10T11:05:00.000-04:002009-04-10T11:05:00.000-04:00I am so sorry to learn of your friend's illness. ...I am so sorry to learn of your friend's illness.

It's a truly horrible disease and I am sorry both for your friend and his wife. My one internet friend lost both her parents this way. Her father was similar to Murray - a very bright mind. He was genius level mathemetician, in fact. <BR/><BR/>The strange irony in her case was that she was the child he'd considered "slow" in the family, not up to his levels, and yet she was the one who was able to soothe him and take care of him when his mind started to erode. Something her "smarter" siblings couldn't cope with.<BR/>Your description of your weather sounds like us here in Scotland. Yesterday was cold, today is sunny and lovely. Last week we went from glorious sun to sleet and hail. I now understand why the British talk about the weather so much. On this quirky changeable island it does become an obsession. <BR/><BR/>Hope you are having a good peaceful Easter weekend. :-)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284595314525240584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4226313511003221518.post-62514763557463036692009-04-09T21:45:00.000-04:002009-04-09T21:45:00.000-04:00Sorry to hear about your Father in Law Amel.

Sometimes it helps them if you talk about things that they are passionate about. <BR/><BR/>Thanks LOL for your thoughtfulness and gratitude. It is a scary feeling to think that all of our memories can be wiped out and very little that can be done about it. I can only imagine the frustration that those who are suffering are going thru.

We really don't have a second to waste on stupid stuff, do we?

I don't think it's too bad yet, but my MIL said that sometimes he peed in a bucket instead of the toilet...and there are times I see him looking confused when he tries to put on a sweater or sock or shoe. <BR/><BR/>I sure do hope he won't deteriorate fast, because it'll make many people sad, esp. my MIL. :-((((Amelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16792921371964029469noreply@blogger.com
