I wish him the best of luck, he won't see alot of the field and will most likely be a slot corner. With Talib and Peters on the outside I think this was a good chance for both parties.

Of course, it is his life and he's free to do as he pleases. I was glad Dale Earnhardt Jr decided to call it career before another concussion was something he couldn't recover from.

Now you sound like my Mom. She denies having memory issues all the time.

He even started going through the auction box a couple of times as if it were the first time he ever laid eyes on it.

Sschind, it’s hard to see something like that in a loved one. And it can be frustrating too. You tell them something, and they can turn right around and ask the same thing over and over. Patience with them can be very hard.
Just take a deep breath, and realize they can’t help it.

I showed Mom a photo of her two older brothers then sent it to her in a text and email. Each time it was the first time she ever saw it. She got real joy out of seeing it.

As of how do family members deal with it- I highly recommend Learning to Speak Alzheimer's by Joanne Koenig Coste. It really explains a lot.

I will paraphrase one of the stories in the book- The daughter came to visit her mom. They had a 24/7 in home caregiver with mom. It was lunch time and the caregiver told her patient it was time to eat. She gave her a piece of fried chicken. The woman exclaimed it was her favorite and she sat there and enjoyed her meal as if she hadn't had chicken for decades.

The daughter was amazed and quietly asked how long it had been since mom had chicken. The caregiver told her she eats chicken for lunch every day. The daughter knowing it's bad to eat fried food every single day questioned the caregiver's reasoning. Caregiver said look how happy she is. DO you think one piece of chicken will effect her health that much. After all the mom was about 90 years old and she was happy.
