My Mom suffered with Alzheimer's for 9 years and my Dad took care of her every single day. She started getting angry and not herself the last 2 years; fighting back and at times cursing, which she never did when she was "normal". She did not recognize my siblings or myself the last few years of her life and towards the end she did not even recognize my Dad except as some who was with her daily. My Dad was a saint and our Hero for caring for her. Her last gift to me was dying while I was with her. She was in hospice at the end and on August 27th, 2012 she passed away holding my hand.
