4. Silver Linings
It is hard to see any blessing or silver lining when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. I don’t think there is one. Alzheimer’s disease just is, and that’s that. But I will say this: so far, I’ve had a chance to know my dad, and be with him, in a different, more focused way, than I ever had in the past. And I am grateful for that. Alzheimer’s does not spare its victims – it is always fatal – but it often works very slowly. My Dad is still here, and I am glad.
