We have a story, then, of how Alzheimer s disease affects a person we were able to know as a little girl born in a one-room sod house in South Dakota, a child of immigrants from Norway who once played funeral with her brothers and sisters. Dying was very familiar to children who grew up on the stark and endless prairie. Stark and endless. Alzheimer s disease. Living and dying and living again.
Life goes on.
Thanks for sharing your journey, Charlotte. We knew that people suffered. But you show us how they laugh, they cry, they learn, they grow, they fall and get up again.
