what a sweet wonderful couple. My grandmother also developed this disease and it is very hard to watch someone you love so much, go through this. It was also hard for me. My grandmother forgot who I was. The only thing I could do was just love her and spend time with her as a friend. This man here is a fantastic man. May God bless both of them and help them through.

this disease is devestating as I see it slowly killing my father. If I ever get it I'll put a gun to my head. no point going through the misery.

those alzhemiers facilities are expensive--she seems really tough (both of them)-for hanging in there 10 years (I am only 43--but my MRI doesn't look good--and I am probably progressing), I heard the younger you get alzhemiers the harder and faster it is (I have vertigo right now--severe at times)..

I hope that one day there will be a cure for this illness. But on a lighter note, for their ages, this is a great-looking couple.

Well, she seems to have an earlier stage of AD. My grandmother, for example, can't even think straight anymore. She is incapable of starting and finishing a whole sentence. It's really tragic. What really moved me in this story is that he refuses to put her in some care facility. That's really humane.
