The Ticking Time Bomb of Dementia Affecting 75-Year-Old's life 

Ariana Allen... I think you must have experienced 'brain fog' in writing this. There is nothing 'captivating' about the video. You don't seem to understand that Neil is demonstrating the first signs of dementia, that he will get worse, and then get very ill, and then he will die.

@@2eleven48 it is captivating through this films cinematography, and the way this mans story is told. It brings attention and awareness and shows how this man still tries to live his best life while suffering with dementia, yes his condition will worsen and he will sadly pass but that is not the ONLY the point of this mans story.

@@BingBongDillyDong Thank you for being positive and detailed in your reply to @2eleven48. I have found so many folks just do not know how to feel and respond to this difficult diagnosis. It is not an all at once death or even a short term progression for most, as many people diagnosed with dementia, whatever the root cause, live for many, many years. I am so impressed with the film as well, the skill of the filmmakers (to be able to see and potentially understand what they are experiencing with their senses is a gift. It helps me be more empathetic and thoughtful in my interaction), and Neil, who is delightful, pragmatic, a man of action (and much mucking about) plus his son and daughter. There is so much life, love, laughter, joy, and the entire gamut of emotions still to experience. So glad Neil is not just taking it sitting down.....he is out there working with where he is at in the moment and what a tremendous impact he is having on others, those lucky ones who surround him and support him too and to a daughter in Colorado in the USA looking for solutions for her Mom. What an Outstanding man and an outstanding film that shares it!

vrediana Oh my! U are so young. Bless ur heart! What were ur symptoms? U and ur Dr's probably thought dementia wasn't even on the list of possibilities! I hope u have lots of love and support!

@willywinkle....it's essential that we grow more aware of dementia, as you say, but you are entirely mistaken to think 'life can go on', because Neil will inevitably descend into dementia, to the point that life won't carry on.

@@2eleven48 I saw your reply on another comment on the You Tube video about Neal in NZ. Both comments you left focus on the depression and inevitability of death. I sense you have close experience with dementia either through a loved one or yourself. If that is the case, I am sorry for what you have to deal with and I hope you have found the best path forward. I, for one, will focus on the positive lessons from this You Tube video as it is helping me understand what paths are open for my Mom, who is dealing with CAA and dementia, and potentially someday myself. I hope not, but, we all die from something at some point. I will continue learn and seek to understand all facets of what is out there to prevent if possible, slow progress if possible, and eek as much positive out of the life I am given and Mom is still living.

Yes, the Noah's Ark was amazing. It is a great learning tool for children. I hope he is still doing alright , it's been almost 3 years since this video was posted. 🙏🏼

My father died at age 88 and never descended into an Alzheimer’s type dementia. He stayed kind and appreciative of his daughter’s care for him. He did live in an assisted living community where he had a table of guys he had his meals with. They did not have the broad ranging outdoor activities that Neil had in New Zealand, which I think he would have loved. Not all dementia is all encompassing before a person passes away.

joseph nellums....Nice? Really? That's all you've got say? The man is descending into dementia, and all you can say is 'nice'? You moron.

I haven’t seen any comments that imply people aren’t aware that Neil’s illness will progress. The video doesn’t dwell on that, and why should it? When this was released, that lay in the future.

@@sopyleecrypt6899 ...You must excuse me. I note that I wrote my comment three years ago, during the last months of my mother's full decline into dementia and her subsequent death. What I described were all the signs of dementia as they happened and finally taking-over. I was angry and full of grief, and thus intemperate in my writing. I see that, now. Robert, UK.

@@2eleven48 thank you, that’s perfectly understandable. I’m sorry about your mother, my condolences.

I'm so sorry God willingly give you peace and tranquility to this horrible Journey

@Bianca blue death is the ony pease

Yes
