Alzheimer’s Walk – If you’re not participating – You should!
My great-grandmother used to be a little forgetful.
Then she was a little more than a little forgetful.
As a family, we consider ourselves lucky that at 93 she still knows who we are once in a while. My grandmother lives with her and cares for her…but she, too, has begun forgetting where things are [...]
