Alzheimer's Blogging:

From Alzheimer's Weekly Magazine:


"The Notebook" is a beautiful film about a couple deeply in love. The film switches scenes between two seasons in their lives. We see them in the urgency of young romance, and then we see them disappearing into the shadows of Alzheimer's, steadfast in their love.

It is his custom every day to read to her from a notebook that tells the story of how they met and fell in love and overcame the obstacles to their happiness.

Watch this collage of moving scenes.

I love the novels of Nicholas Sparks and this one was one of his best.

Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease. Can we still love the  person with Alzheimer's even when they don't remember us? Can we still love the person with Alzheimer's when they go through the mean stage, when they hit and bite because they don't know better. Can we still love the person with Alzheimer's  when they reach the stage of a baby and you have to totally take care of them with out any acknowledgement that they appreciate what you are doing?  This is just thoughts for your mind. Only you can answer them. For me, I hope the answer is yes if this happens to my husband.
