The longest day

It is fitting that today is the longest day of the year, and the Summer Solstice.  It is the day to remember the 44 million people with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.  Alzheimer's kills cells and tissue in the brain which then shrinks.  People lose their ability to communicate, recognize, and care for themselves.  Currently, there is no way to prevent it, nor is there a cure.  If you have been affected by this terrible disease, you know how heart-wrenching it can be.  Today, people all over the world are recognizing the strength of all who have or face this disease in their family or friends.  Make a ripple, honor them, see what happens.
