Beautiful story.

Did you ever consider not telling him that his mother was dead? Say she went on a trip or something? That’s what I think I would’ve done.

I probably would have come up with something like that had my aunt not told me that he didn’t get upset when you told him the truth, just a bit confused.

Rest in peace to your uncle.

I've always been fascinated by Alzheimer's. It's a strange and tragic disease and I hope we're able to find a cure for it sooner than later.

Thank you J.S., yes I agree it’s a fascinating area. I’ve no clue whether there’s been much progress in the last few years, but as people live longer and longer it becomes even more important to find better treatments
