That was very touching.. My grandpa has Alzheimer disease and he is sadly in a nursing home because we decided he needed full time care and we coudln't give that to him..

I'm bawling. I lost both sets of grandparents to Alzheimer's and your video touched me so much. Thank you for having the courage to do it.
