My Grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2010. We started noticing behavioral changes and memory loss but we didn't get an official diagnosis until she was into Stage 4. My Grandma is the family's rock, our world and an amazing person. She is a proud mom of 8 children, grandma of 16, great-grandma of 26 and great-great grandma of 1. She was a very strong, willful, independent woman and to see her with Alzheimer's has been one of the hardest things to watch her go through. I love her so very much and do my best to give and show her the love and support she has always given me. She is and always will be my kindred spirit, my role model, my best friend. Two peas in a pod.
