After a year my dad remembered me! Alzheimer's, if you don't laugh you'll cry.

My dad has Alzheimer's and hasn't remembered me as his daughter for well over a year...but every once in a very great while, for a fleeting moment, he does remember! Today was one of those magical moments to cherish!

I’m scared of this happening to my parents, wouldn’t know how to react with them seemingly not recognizing me.

Having Alzheimer’s and KNOWING you have it must be so terrible

[AM-ppkn]

my grandma couldn't remember me for two years. I visited her and the first thing she said was, 'hi Alex, my grandson, I love you' it was amazing.

I pray that no one in my family ever gets Alzheimer’s, that looks like the most heartbreaking, gut wrenching thing to go through. Sending love to everybody who has ever dealt with this. You are strong

miss my mom and dad. I'm 46 and I'm still like a child needing their comfort.

I remember my mom telling me that my grandma wished if she ever got sick, she would pass quickly so she wouldn't be a burden to us. She ended up suffering from Alzheimer's for maybe 5 years, if I remember correctly... I was still in middle school when I would help watch her while my aunt and uncle were out. Sometimes she would cry because she felt bad we had to help her do things like go to the bathroom... she was never, ever a burden to us, and I always reminded her of that. She was the one who was suffering so much for so long, but still worried more about us...
Alzheimer's is horrible...
