Four days ago I placed my sweetheart of 42 years in a nursing facility. It tore my heart out to let him go. He is only 64 years old. I took care of him and worked full time, but it became too much for me and really for him. I reach for him each night, but his body is no longer there. He has been gone for about 2 years, but I could still hold him. Alzheimers is the worst disease of all. friends no longer come around, family is scarce, and as the patient goes down, she/he take with them all the hope of life. Somehow, someway there must be more money put into this disease. We must find a reason, a cause, and a cure. Please get these messages out to our politicians and make us get noticed. Some day I pray that we don't have to say good bye to them each day while they silently slip away from us. I will be first. Four days ago I placed my sweetheart of 42 years in a nursing facility.
