Amen. That's what my husband's neurologist said as well. Our adult kids won't believe that, especially our daughter. She thinks there must be "something" that would "fix" it. But we caregivers eventually realize there is no "fixing" this.

Love your last sentence. It reminds me of the line in a song from the 70s (or earlier): "Yesterday's gone, tomorrow may never come, we have this moment today." Another line: "Don't wait for tomorrow to look back and wish for this day."

On a lighter note, with his poor memory, everyday is like the Goundhog Day movie. But at least we have "todays" for now.

Again, thanks.

@lena0825 You are not the only one with Groundhog Day on their mind 🤭. On a positive note it does make it easier to find movies to watch as every time is the first time. And meals are easier as memory fades fast as to if they had the same thing a few days ago. Humor & Joy are essential for survival!
