I was going through your writings which is an inspiration to all of us.
Minor comment about this post. Alzheimer's stay undiagnosed in many people until symptoms become hard to miss, so the wording can be changed from "develop Alzheimers's to" to "diagnosed with Alzheimer's" to reflect that transition.
Much Metta.
