I went through this with my mother; both of you have my sincerest sympathy. We tried to keep her home, but one day her doctor said it was no longer safe. He found a bed for her in a nursing home that specialized in Alzheimer's. I thought she would be upset, but she wasn't. She was really happy; she had "friends" to talk to, watch TV with. She had forgotten who we were long before this; no enjoyment in family at all. She actually seemed happy to see us after she moved into the home. It is a hard disease; harder still for what the family they are leaving.

The other day I had charged his electric razor and it was laying on the counter. He ask me what it was. He didn't know where it was put away at when it was in the case. Tonight with his paper napkin he only had part of it dirty and he wanted to cut that part out and save the rest. I said no it is going out. Some times it is the little things that gets you.
