Dementia in my family

My uncle moved in with us

"He’s a really cool guy so it makes me so sad to know he’s got this and that maybe one day he’ll forget who I am and how much we all love him."

My uncle got Alzheimer’s and came to live with us. He’s my dad’s brother and they’re really close so he’s been close with me all my life too. My uncle doesn’t have a wife or kids so it’s like we are his only family. He’s a really cool guy so it makes me so sad to know he’s got this and that maybe one day he’ll forget who I am and how much we all love him. Gianne.
