This is one of many stories that could be written about the heartache of Alzheimer's Disease. It is told by a life partner who journeyed through the stages of caregiving from not understanding what was happening to the point of extreme grief.

The author describes his own irregular path towards that awareness and ends with an appeal to the Alzheimer's Association to develop a professional training program that will teach family members and prospective caregivers how to interact with those who are losing rational and logical skills.
