My Mom has had Alzheimers disease for  2 years. Imagine seeing your Mom fade away and theres nothing you can do to stop it. The simple things are not simple to do anymore for my Mom. Like take a bath, get dressed, get a drink of ginger ale. The last 2 years I and my Mom have been on alot of vacations together.  My Mom enjoys them and we have fun together. It gives my Dad some time for himself. I do what every I can to help my parents. What I wish for that the Goverment would provide more funding to find a cure for this terrible disease. It is sad how many people die from this and there is no cure. I have started a petition. .http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/alzheimers-disease?source=c.em&r_by=6707867
