Memories that make it so important to try.

As i sit down and open up the better homes and gardens puzzle book im taken back to when me and mum would be on the phone for hours and hours doing the same book together just chatting and completing puzzles. She was the best at it! Never needed a dictionary, at the drop of a hat she'd know it. I was in awe. Fast forward a few years, after a few minutes of thinking she couldn't even tell me her name or remember who i was. It was heartbreaking. To watch her lose herself day by day and lose the joy she had in her life, this is what it does, it rips out all memory and feeling of the things and people you love and leaves you feeling alone and scared. No one should have to feel that way. This is why i do what i can, this is why i try and raise money and awareness. So we can understand this disease more and if we understand it maybe just maybe we can get closer to stopping it.
