Politics aside (as some may comment about here), he’s a very decent human.

Alzheimer’s is horrible. My mom died from it last week after 5 years of suffering.

Dementia claims a minimum of two victims, the one who suffers from it and the one who loves that person and is torn apart by the decline.

I read or heard he only spent the money from stand-up even when hosting the Tonight Show.

God Bless you Jay. Mavis will be in my thoughts and prayers.

My dad had dementia, but he was lucid half the time, and we could have decent conversations. In the end his body was just plain worn out. It will be 26 years in January. He was limited to what he could do physically, that’s where we came in.
His last week was in a nursing home.

I remember when Jeremy Clarkson had Leno on Top Gear for an interview about Leno’s car collection. Clarkson, a professional automobile enthusiast, gently teased Leno about his 200+ car collection. Leno quickly retorted to the thrice married Clarkson, “ . . . but only one wife.” Clarkson, who is a quick wit himself, had to admit that Jay had the better of him.

Prayers up for the Lenos. My grandmother had dementia. It was absolute hell on earth seeing what she went through, and it wore myself and my mother down as we were primarily the caregivers (my dad helped at times but he was working then).

It’s an awful, terrible disease. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

I can relate, because I’m in the same boat as Jay.

My wife of 52 years is in long term care for dementia due to a COVID vaccine reaction. We had the better, now we’ve got the worse.

Mavis never has been right in the head.

But good for Jay, anyhow. Honorable.

Comedian Jay Leno is taking his wedding vows seriously.

What a pathetic commentary on our times that this is making headlines instead of being the natural, expected course of action for a married couple.

I had a cousin like that. His wife developed dementia in her 50s and resided in an assisted living facility. He visited her every single day even though he was still running a successful insurance agency. He died several yrs ago but his devotion to his wife and his Catholic faith was inspiring.

Good on him.

My cousin was married to a woman who had Alzheimer’s. She died perhaps 15 years ago. He was not a young man, but he found another woman and they are so happy. They travel and he is being fully rewarded by God for his faithfulness.
