FOR GREGORY. He was not a VICTIM of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, he was a HERO!

PLEASE NOTE: Even though this blog is now dormant there are many useful, insightful posts. Scroll back from the end or forward from the beginning. Also, check out my writer's blog. Periodically I will add posts here if they provide additional information about living well with Dementia / Alzheimer's Disease.

The Iron Lady (CAUTION: Movie Spoiler)

Today Gregory and I went to see The Iron Lady, a movie about Margaret Thatcher who is played by Meryl Streep. After seeing Ms. Streep in Julia and Julie, I knew we had to see this one. Miss Streep is one of THE actors of our time.

Early in the movie I realized that part of telling Ms. Thatcher's story is that she, at 82, suffers from dementia which has been labeled Alzheimer's Disease. Totally unprepared. So you can imagine I cried through a lot of the movie. Not sure how Gregory felt about it. Maybe we'll discuss it in a little while over dinner. Then again, why ruin a good meal. Maybe before bedtime. Then again, why ruin a good night's sleep?

Below is the link to an article I found on the internet which talks about Ms. Thatcher's daughter and her autobiography.
