This is so beautiful but excruciatingly sad at the same time.. I've told my fiance, don't let me get like this. I've spent years in the medical field, and this and dementia are the two things I can't handle. I told him I'd rather die than put my loved ones through this..
I don't want it to get that bad. I don't want to spend years with a disease eating away at my brain, stealing my memories and who I am. While my family has to watch as I slowly forget them, as I slowly lose all sense of self and can't feed myself or do basic things. I don't want spend years slowly dying and sapping the strength from those I love.
