Disintegrate and Fade by *PenelopeT is a creation that arose from the loss of a family member to Alzheimer's Disease the previous day. It's poignant, it speaks, and it has an impact.

Description

The issue of Alzheimer's Disease is one that I think of often. What a terrible and strange condition that so many are afflicted with. And while I may ponder the philosophical components or the bigger picture issues of it, there is just the plain old human level of it that has to be acknowledged...
This morning my stepfather's father died. He had struggled with Alzheimer's for the last 5 years. And while I did not know him well, the times I met him I found him to be one of the sweetest old guys you'd ever meet.
But what I did see was the pain and anger that my stepfather went through in watching his father fade into the void...
And while I will be there when my stepfather commemorates his father's life in more joyous and pleasant ways, for now, I wanted to express my sadness and feelings about this disease...
