Something that you may or may not know is that my mother has some form of Alzheimer’s spectrum brain disease that has progressed to the point where she no longer knows me, or herself. While there’s no really good terminal illnesses out there, Alzheimer’s and related dementias seem to me to be among the worst as they destroy much of the essence of the person you love long before taking their life.
June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month and if you click that link, you can see some great photos shared on the hashtags #ENDALZ & #MyAlzStory along with information about efforts to combat these diseases and a way to donate.

Dementia and Alzheimer’s are truly some of the worst ailments we deal with as human beings. I’ve seen it a lot in our church and it is heartbreaking, though I have been lucky not to encounter it in my own family. Thanks for the link.
