"In the journey of Alzheimers, both my mother's journey and my family caring for her and watching this wonderful woman start to fade away, like a ship that's disappearing into the mist, ever so slowly but ever so surely . . . propelled by some implacable wind that you can't control and yet you have to face it . . . for me, the only way to face it was with faith."
—Edward Grinnan
