I HIGHLY recommend THE NOTEBOOK. It is the most touching story I've EVER read in my life.
Munchkin03-So, never say never, folks. I know my parents are financially prepared for the possibility of having to require outside long-term care, and I know they don't want to put us what they went through.
Absolutely right.
I would rather die than burden my children with something like this.
(BUT, they better say a novena FIRST!)

Some forms of mental deterioration take on a violent nature. My Hubby's grandfather reacted this way.
Then, you have those who think they are in the past. I have always wondered if perhaps this isn't a "gift" to them. They have no cares, they are happy in their memories. This was my Grandmother most of the time, she would fade in and out of the present. When she was in one of those lapses, she had such happiness and laughter. She LOOKED younger too. I HONESTLY think she was is a better place mentally even though it was all in her mind.
