On this occasion I wanted to remember my grandfather, and also show them how Alzheimer's is slowly turning off a person.
First, I want to talk a little about this disease, since Alzheimer's is a brain disease, and it attacks the memory, the character, and the way of being of a person. It is practically a dementia, and it is a common disease in older people.
This disease worsens horrible with the passage of time, the person begins to lose memory, does not remember what he did, does not remember that he already ate, and wants to eat again .. so on, they get confused, lose the skills, the more serious is this disease worsens the mobility of the person, they forget to talk, they forget to walk, chew, swallow, even breathe. Personally I think that we all must from young people do mental exercises, manuals where we put the brain to think and to exercise, so that as we get older we are not prone to have this disease.

My grandfather, they began to forget where he put things, or that he was hungry that he had not eaten (when he had already done it)
Then little by little he forgot about us, but we told him cecy and he knew who he was, cecy (cecilia) his great love, my grandmother <3
