I feel ya.

Had a father go through years of Alzheimer's, now my mother has gone from being super active to essentially wheelchair bound.

I know how that feels too. My Memaw (maternal grandma) had Alzheimer’s and Dementia and died 5 years ago January 15th. Her oldest big brother died from choking on a piece of ham when he was in his 40’s, her other brother was murdered in 2011 and her dad died from cancer in 1980. She’s had an extremely hard life and yet is the most vibrant, funny, kind woman. I know life isn’t fair, but this is fricking cruel. She’s actually writing a children’s book and Tanden is a character name in it I showed her the threads with Tanden when that was going down. she used to post here back in the mid 2000’s
