"dementia honestly I wish I had it after some of things I seen in chat 
Not something to joke about. For some of us it's a daily struggle  "
I had a family member with it just I'm not sensitive and understand a joke  |

My nan has Alzheimer's. I also work with a lot of dementia patients due to my job.
It's a horrible disease. Maybe not so bad to start with but it's the progression that is really sad. |

I work with dementia residents..really love my job. Like that no 2 days are the same and the old biddies are some of the funniest people I've ever met. You can be laughing till you cry 1 day and have a cracked rib the next... You just take the good with the bad tho. I love seeing the pictures of how they used to look.....its really sad tho as some of them are shadows of themselves and unrecognizable. Also feel sad when some of the families come in and there is no communication. Even worse when you never see family x |

My grandfather had Dimentia. He suffered for 10 years before finally letting go. It was aweful to see him completely oblivious to all those that loved him. I'm so glad that I took my 1st son to meet him at 1 month old. I couldn't hold back the tears when I heard him say "grandson" when I introduced him. He died a week later. |

Similar story for me, I'm so glad my grandmother got to meet my daughter. All but one of my grandparents had a form of dementia and now having to go through it again with a parent. Such a cruel disease |
