I'll have to see if I can find a copy of it. All my best to you and your husband. This film on Alz is actually very positive. There is only one scene where the husband really struggles with his wife's memory issues. Most of the time the conflict is with people outside of their marriage interfering with his plans to care for her. Hugs! Karen D.

It's a little sentimental at times, but still good.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917006732840712469.post-87033747121341416822014-09-27T21:29:52.263-05:002014-09-27T21:29:52.263-05:00I think I would like to watch this film – I say “t...I think I would like to watch this film – I say “think” because I am not sure. My husband has onset Alzheimer and so far he only has no short term memory, so I don’t know how I would handle watching this film. On another subject I just finished reading “The Last of the Doughboys: The Forgotten Generation and their Forgotten War” by Richard Rubin. The author decided to interview the last veterans from WWI and all of them were over 100 years old, averaging 103. Some were living alone, and one was 109 years old.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.com
