Watching my father regress from a Captain of Industry to a five year old child was heartbreaking. It took place so gradually too, which is maybe the cruelest part of the disease.

I feel like sharing some of his work - I could not be more different than him, but I was very proud of him. This is the man we remember best:

We saw many sad things in the dementia ward over the years, but there were heartwarming moments too. The nurses and aides that care for these residents are saints. Some of the residents were absolute characters (with no filters) that made you smile. There really could be an honest tv drama/comedy about life in the dementia ward.

There are encouraging treatments on the way, but maybe 10 years away? Too late for my dad. My sister and I worry about our risk, and I'm not sure how much you can do to prevent it if it is written in your DNA.
