Sons' moving video to mum who has early onset Alzheimer's.

[eulamae]

My mother had Alzheimer's and died in 2014. My mother always 'knew' who I was although I changed to her over the last couple of years. I started out being her daughter, then she thought I was one sister or the other. Then finally two weeks before she died, we had our last real conversation. I sat beside her and asked, "Do you know who I am?" She grabbed my hand and kissed it and said, "Yes, you're my Mama, my sweet sweet Mama." I shared that story at her funeral. The pastor who followed comforted me with these words, "She may not have known exactly who you were, but Bib knew you were family." The mind may forget, but the heart never will.

I work at a memory care facility. It's heart-breaking to see Alzheimer's patients decline. Sing to her. That's one of the last memories to remain for them when everything else goes.

I'm 80 and that is my greatest fear. Please God let me die before it happens.

My Mom had this for 16 years. She Never Forgot Me.

This makes me so sad. I was riding in the car with my Mom who had Alzheimer's and she asked what my name was, I told her and she said "I have a daughter named Jackie" I have never recovered from that. Bless this family

Very moving and sad at the same time. Such a beautiful family with good sons. I support you guys. God Bless.

This is so depressing, imagine being the mom, knowing you will forget everything and lose yourself. I hope we soon find a cure for this awful disease

Hey guys great video. My mom had dementia quite a few years and passed away two years ago. It's the hardest thing you're ever going to go through your heart will break every day. But my dad and I took care of her the whole time and would never have it any other way. She passed away and she was 85 she had a great life. And we made sure she didn't need or want for anything. I miss her everyday and as I'm trying to type this I'm crying so it probably won't make much sense. But please take care of each other also. Lots of love, Mark

My beautiful sister died from alzheimers at age 61. Truly a lovely woman gone to soon from that horrible disease.

The universe was showing off when this Family was made.
Her 2 Sons are brave beyond words.
Kind deeds change lives. May this kindness find it way back to them.
I wept and then I smiled.

I once read that you can tell a man by the way he treats his mother. I would say that she did a fantastic job of raising two wonderful sons who love and respect her. Best of luck to all of you!

Her brain might forget but her heart never will!

My dad had Alzheimer's disease from the time I was 3 and passed away at 65 sortly after my 17th birthday. I raised my father as if he were my younger brother because life had to keep going. My dad forgot who ai.was by the age of seven. He would fist fight me on bad days. He was mentally never there for me but I still respected my daddy. I let mommy and daddy know where I was going and whom I would be with along with our destination. I didn't want my mommy and daddy to worry about me. We had enough stress going on.

OMG I was trying so hard not to cry - but here I am crying like a baby. A cruel cruel disease - my mum no longer knows I’m her daughter - but she still knows she loves me. More research has to be done to cure this despicable illness. ❤️

[wiltonpt]

two beautiful sons and the love is beaming in their faces. As a researcher and health professional I want to say Alzheimer progression can be slowed down with activity and nutrition markedly
So be hopeful and don’t settle for less

I think we're all crying now. If you young men see this 5 years later, how is mom doing? I always thought growing up that cancer would be the worst thing to find out I had, or that a family member had. My mom died of cancer in 2012, but she knew me until her last breath, and I love you was the last thing she said to me. I don't know how I would have been able to go on after she died if I didn't have that to hold on to. Sending you all love.

The local authority insisted my darling mum went into care because they said it was too much strain on me. But it took them 8 years to say that. It was utter hell. We had no lives and neither had she for the last 4 years. Every day I visited her and fed her lunch and dinner. The home tried to do its best. Many of the lovely staff didn't speak English but they always tried with a smile. It was cheaper for the local authority if my mum went into a home so they insisted but they hadn't the expert care needed for people with Alzheimer's. She developed diabetes in care because they kept feeding her sugar as soon as I turned my back. I can't think about it anymore or I'd be screaming. Fight for your mum to be cared for at home and if at all possible (I know you lose your life fully to 24 hour care)do it yourselves. thank you.

My mum is called Kathy too and she has dementia, it's a cruel disease which also effects the love ones as well. Cherished them as long as you can

My father died with Alzheimer’s disease in 1998. I miss him terribly 😞. We still laugh at all the funny things he said and did. God bless you Dad, you’ve left us with good memories.
