Ironically I am suffering from a concussion at present and the symptoms include short term memory loss. Yikes! I sure hope that this clears up soon. :(

@Tony,
Thanks for dropping in and commenting. I share your dread of losing precious memories. I have some very wonderful memories that I never want to lose.

I’m sorry to hear about your great uncle. Although this research is in the early stages I sincerely hope it provides a means of slowing down the development of Alzheimer’s.

Losing one’s memories… I think that’s one thing I sometimes dread. Certainly, physical illness presents its own very real issues, but not being able to take refuge in a mind that’s lost its identity is a more fearful thing to me.

I have some small, treasured moments inside my soul that I would like my mind to be able to soak in until the very day I die. I sometimes worry that even that might be too much to ask for…
