#3 One of the blessings of old age for me has been the grace of memories that fade. There are things you would rather not have full memories of.

#4 My Mother had Alzheimer's - or a cousin thereof - and made lave very hard for my Father - because she was always wandering off.

I am SO not looking forward to losing my marbles.

#7 My friend and business partner is on the downhill slide - she is in her 80s, and after having lived a very independent and slightly raucous life - she is on home hospice care. (Lung cancer being the primary diagnosis.) The thing she regrets and feels the most of all - is that her memory is shot. Long-term, short-term - all shot. She had a memory like a steel-toothed trap ... and it's now barely adequate to keep her remembering the plot of the books that she has recently read.
