Man with Alzheimer's recognizes his brother after a year 

That was very moving.

Quita Trice, Agreed. It's hard to watch loved ones ravaged by this horrible disease.

Thank you

Absolutely! I noticed that too. Heartbreaking. Wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.

That was a Lovely Moment🌟

Omg! How nice of her to put this reunion together❤

I'm right there with you with the water works!

Thanks for your comments :)

Sad 😭 but like you said if you don't laugh you'll cry ,terrible disease.Is there any progress in medication or therapy that helps at this stage ?

Painting To Remember my grandfather has Alzheimer's and his face always lights up when he sees me. But today he told me to get out or he was calling the police I tried to explain to him it was me but he wouldn't listen. Then he said Ann come here Ann was my grandmother who died two years later. He then broke down crying and started to say sorry a number of times to me.

No time For B.S Unfortunately Alzheimer's which is a terminal disease still has no real treatments or cures :(

Maelox Gaming I'm sorry that both you and your grandfather are forced to deal with Alzheimer's/dementia. It is such a brutality difficult disease. He doesn't mean to forget who you are at times, it's the disease destroying parts of his brain causing that to happen. From what you're describing he is also aware of his own confusion which makes it very uncomfortable for him as well. My dad went through this alsol. I stopped trying to convince him of who I was as it didn't help him feel better. All you can do is stay patient and understanding. I do believe that long after the disease robs their brain of the memory of who we are their soul still knows us! Sending you both hugs filled with comfort and strength while you travel this difficult journey.

meem ago Thank you :)

+1 I didn't blink watching this and now my eyes are all teary, but just because they became so dry, I swear.

Gamer Boy Thank you, and blessings back to you as well

@Celia And Favour Sorry, for your loss.

did you actually laugh out loud when you typed "lol" ?

@@mentilly_all the "lol" was for comic relief to an otherwise serious comment. It was meant to emphasize the slight sarcasm in "just put me down" since that it not a valid option.

@@seth1530 well, i don't necessarily think sarcasm and comic relief are always the same thing.. thanks for at least being self-aware enough to clarify

They’re still working on ways to prevent It before It even starts. Hopefully during your lifetime!

Its just the thought of slowly losing yourself that is scary

Yeah Bee Dementia is a tough thing for everyone. I believe that deep within their souls still recognize who everyone is even when their brains don't.

My grandmother has dementia. I’m only 14, so she forgets me sometimes, but just thinking about her and all the good times we had make me sad. She has had dementia all throughout my life, but when I was born she was at least aware of it. Now, she can hardly remember my mother. She always says that, to her, her mother is already dead, and that is just so terrible. You shouldn’t have to watch your own mother die twice.

WAS the best

Thanks for sharing this. I miss my Grand- Mother too. It has been too many years now.

He's a patient and loving father!

You are right my father is suffering from same disease since five months .and Dr. I don't know what to do and what not.

I’m so sorry, i lost my dad for lung cancer in 2000. Being fatherless is so sad especially in hard times

Oh I'm sorry about your loss. May he rest in piece. Thanks for sharing this piece of your life so that others may learn about this condition and get more involved with bringing about change,

Lilah Moore Thank you. Sending you and your grandmother hugs filled with strength and comfort while you are traveling the difficult path of dementia.

nvm i did cry

This made my whole day lmao. From tears to laughter in a heartbeat xD

DoctorWhoOhPikachu It's one of the hardest aspects of dealing with this brutal disease! facebook.com/paintingtoremember

David Kennedy Aww, thank you for the lovely message! I'm very appreciative of you taking the time to send it.

Vanessa Cormier Aww, thank you for the lovely feedback :)

Nessa, Why live a life of self pleasure? If we live for God; for Jesus, then we will live eternally in a much much much greater place and body. But that requires us to deny ourselves. We need not to please ourselves or others, but to please God, where the sub- product will be true happiness. Please don't dress so promiscuously. May God touch your heart. (:

@@abraham4930 ouch, I don't believe in God but I still cried 😢

Thank you!
