Produktbeschreibung
This memoir begins in 2003 with Gregory's diagnosis of Dementia, most likely Alzheimer's Disease. They realized that their choice was to lie down and die or hunker down and keep living! Michael and Gregory chose to walk the Alzheimer's Path to its fullest and to the best of their abilities. The story follows them through their day-to-day interactions and through Michael's perceptions of living with and loving someone living with Dementia. It covers the next 12 years including Gregory's final eighteen months living at the Lieberman Memory Care Center. It then deals with the days after Gregory's death on October 4, 2015, and Michael's grief at Gregory's passing after their 41 years of being in a committed, same-sex relationship. They were not VICTIMS of Alzheimer's Disease, they were HEROS!
