I am so sorry for what you all have been through. Our memories are so precious and I guess we alms take them for granted. It breaks my heart to think that someone can look at their own child and not even know them, or remember their own history. So sad. #mgAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-39041947723644465862016-04-12T21:16:19.890-04:002016-04-12T21:16:19.890-04:00Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.Thank you, I appreciate your kind words.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-66482796706976330412016-04-12T12:34:15.592-04:002016-04-12T12:34:15.592-04:00I'm so glad you have those wonderful memories ...I'm so glad you have those wonderful memories of your Granny!!

Cherish the memories you have and make sure you document the new ones you make in your life; in case you need to recall them later.

The only person I knew to have this disease was DH's grandfather who passed away almost 37 years ago. I pray my memory stays with me till the day I die. Aging plays some hard tricks on you, but losing one's memories is perhaps the cruelest of all to not only the victim, but his/her family. <br /><br />~Curious as a Cathy<br /><a href="http://curiousasacathy.com/2016/04/all-things-vintage-gsmnp-aprila2z/" rel="nofollow">All Things Vintage: GSMNP #AprilA2Z</a>Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-2804453733589468822016-04-09T09:48:41.126-04:002016-04-09T09:48:41.126-04:00Thank you.Thank you.Ericka @ A Quiet Girl's Musings...https://www.blogger.com/profile/11041608167418967580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-36523534437488306302016-04-09T02:34:22.040-04:002016-04-09T02:34:22.040-04:00Hello from A to Z, Ericka.

I don't know if they called it Alzheimer's or severe dementia. In any event, it looks the same as what you're describing with your Granny. They lose all of the things that made them who they were. The essence of themselves. My grandma (mom's mom) even lost her grasp of the English language. She spoke in gibberish for the last few years of her life. It was frustrating to her and us. She'd get very upset when no one understood what she was saying. The unraveling of a life. That sums it up very well. It's very hard to watch.<br /><br />Now, I'm going to change subjects on you and step by step you through adding the Google Friend Connect Button. Go to Layout. In your sidebar, click on Add A Gadget. A menu pops up on the left. You need to select More Gadgets. In the search bar at the top type in Google Friend Connect. That will give you three options. The most user-friendly option is the last one, which is called Members. Select that one. Then add it. You should now have the Google Friend Connect Button in your sidebar making it easier for more people to follow you:)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4938017709366022158.post-43164618042763476652016-04-08T09:38:29.958-04:002016-04-08T09:38:29.958-04:00It is a cruel disease.
