That's a good thought, Doug.

Doug, my grandpa has dementia. I visited him yesterday. He remembered I had a husband and kids, but if he remembered their names, he never said. The conversation was a bit of a "loop"... but I was there.

That's a very touching commentary on her mother by Ellen Goodman, Doug. It's such a sad thing to watch this happen to a loved one.

Old age and loss of memory is bad enough without dementia. But I wonder if they suffer as much as those left in full memory.
