The possibility of my self having symptoms of Early Onset Alzheimer's Disease or ( MCI) Mild Cognitive Impairment Click on the book to read my journal

I really didn't know where to start but While I was reading my e-mail one day It was a response and it was real. This is a feeling that may never go away. I just keep working on letting go, without letting loose. I need for all people young and old to understand that this disease can get us all. Anytime...Anyage... Anyone...Rich or Poor I am angry ...I am So Sad... I am Lonely..... I am scared... I am lost......I wasn't ready......... I wasn't prepared....... I prayed that if my mother ever had to die it would be in her sleep... I lost one of my best friends. Now I am angry, angry, angry.... but I will fight....I will learn.... I will be prepared I wont go without a fight... I feel like my mind is being taken little by little I will Yell...Scream.... and tell everyone I know... Everyone I talk to. TO BE AWARE this could happen to you too!!!!!! (((((((((((ALZHEIMER'S)))))))))))))) LETS TALK ABOUT IT No it's not a STD....No it's not CANCER...No it's not FAIR!!!!!!

As I look into the face of a friend I once loved,

how can I be sure it's you.

God will let me know

For he will guide me through,

your touch hasn't changed

Have you?

Love will endure.....

I notice while visiting with my mother that a tender

kiss, a hug will make her feel calm, a sudden change takes place,

the look a fear or anguish diminishes and a smile appears on her face.

The touch of a loved one must be something that lasts

even while the memory of your face seems less clear.

As time goes on I realize that my mother is still aware of who I am.

Her ability to speak in complete sentences seems to be getting worse.

Our conversations are less, but for some reason we are still communicating.

I love her and she loves me, that is one complete sentence she can still say.
