My friend's grandmother had the disease and I too have wondered about the genetic component. And like you, my friend and I don't talk about her illness. I really miss our conversations which are very short now because whe forgets what words to use. It's hard, isn't it. I especially appreciate your comments on this aspect of having a friend with Alzheimers. Thanks for commenting. Stop by again soon.

A good friend of mine seemed to also be on the onset of Alzheimer's. Since her mother also had it at an early age, I'm afraid the odds were against her from the start. For me it was a very odd feeling when this became apparant. I too would be there for her, but at this point and because of her background, we haven't even been able to talk about it.
