    Thank you Ms. Davis. It is obvious by your words that AD did not "steal your love". As a family member, advocate and professional in Alzheimer's care, it is wonderful to hear from you and your family. Your sharing tells others that they are not alone! Thank you!

    Well said. I applaud you and the O'Connor family for teaching us more about this disease that affects 5 million Americans. Call you local Alzheimer's Assn. chapter for more info and help: 1.800.272.3900

    Even those of us who don't have Alzheimer's have to learn that love is not what you possess, but what you let go......this was a beautiful article......thank you for allowing my opinion......skd500

    What happened to Ronald Reagen was a shame. The fact that it happened while he wa still president was a tragedy.
