This really struck a chord for me, because my family took on the task of caring for my father for nearly 13 years during the course of his Alzheimer's disease. It's so important to have a strong support system of family and friends.

Wow! You are an amazing woman!! Your husband is so lucky to have someone like you. God bless him for dealing with Alzheimers and may God bless you for all you do.

The video was fabulous all but many of the feelings and comments about it. Yes it's rough but if you truely love someone there ARE no boundaries.

My dad died from dementia, started as small strokes and robbed him of short term memory, then his long term. I feel the same way, I pray my kids don't have to take care of me the same way we had to take care of him. Now my mom had a large stroke and I'm working on her long term care.

you are simply amazing, you have totally inspired me, I run my own business, and I am going to come up with something, like for everyone thats signs up for the wholesale pak or the distributor package to have their own business, I will donate so much of my commission to help people that are going through what you did, kudos to you lady.

I think the video is very well done. I have know family and friends that have suffered from this horrible disease. It is very sad that medical people have not been able to find a cure.

We have long term care insurance. I just hope we never have to use it. I wish my parents did, because I know if anything were to happen to them, I would have to move home to care for them.

My dad just passed away last week. Cancer was listed on the death certificate, but Alzheimer's took him away from us long before that...I hate the disease, the name, all of it
