The
Alzheimer’s just Keeps
Marching On.
My God! Will they ever find a cure?
I am writing this just thirty minutes after my eldest granddaughter, her boyfriend and my great grandson “Logan” have just left after having their favourite roast dinner with us.
The time spent with family is so so precious.
I have always wanted somebody to find a cure soon so I can walk each of my three granddaughters up the aisle or at least watch them walk up it. Now? They are having grandchildren of their own and I want to watch them grow up for as long as I can, so much it hurts.
I know things are not quite right as I have mentioned before because during dinner I had more trouble finding my mouth than I have ever had. The hurt in my darling Elaine’s eyes was only surpassed by the hurt in my granddaughter’s eyes. Her boyfriend Ben was trying to talk about the last few days in the world cup but I unfortunately only managed to remember the awful result on Sunday.
Playing with my great grandson I was aware of eyes watching me with him, just in case I dropped him or something. I never would, but I can understand why. I struggled a little bit to keep up with the conversation and sometimes when I did say something it was received with a polite “Sorry Grandad, what did you say?” I now understand why some get so frustrated and some go into their shells because of the humiliation you still feel even though it’s with family and even though they are aware of my condition.
Maybe a cure is just around the corner? Maybe one day I will be stood there in the queue waiting for my “Miracle “Tablet.
Or maybe it will come too late for me, but do you know? Even if it is too late for me, I hope I live to see a cure and I would be happy in the knowledge that at last this awful illness has been stopped in its tracks!!
Until then, the Alzheimer’s marches on, but then again, so did “Hitler” and he was defeated by some very brave and good people who had the faith to carry on in the face of defeat.
And so must we, no matter what life throws at us, we must catch it, deal with it and do our own marching on until that day when a cure is found and dignity reigns!!
Always fighting,
Best wishes, Norrms and ever expanding family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
