It took ten years for this awful disease to kill my mother. The only great President in my lifetime correctly called it “the long goodbye”.

I wish more time and money could be spent to find a cure or a means of prevention. If Alzheimer’s had the funds available that AIDS has received (a completely preventable disease, BTW) there could well be a cure by now.

Reagan's speech re: Alzheimer's was so sad - such a wonderful and vibrant person.

I'm so sorry about your Mother.
