re: There are so many sad and devastating things in the world

it runs in my family
my grandmother held on almost 15 years is full stage dementia
not only had she forgotten who she was, it went on so long I damn near forgot what she was like before

I know it's coming for my dad who's 72 and still works every day
and I know it's coming for me

I've declared specific instructions in my will that when it does happen to me I am to be relived of my post
