It always amazes me to think Reagan changed history and accomplished more than most could ever dream (for the better) and ended up unable to recognize himself in the mirror. Alzheimer’s really is the cruelest disease. What else do you have but your memories?
I inevitably think of Reagan whenever Alzheimer’s comes up. There are an incredibly tiny number of mortal men I consider to be heroes, people genuinely worthy of mass adoration. For me, Reagan is at the top of that list. He was a genuinely great man and I (notorious in my small world for being unemotional) can easily tear up when watching any kind of show about him.
