Alzheimer’s Doesn’t Only Affect The Elderly – Let’s Raise Awareness!

[Omaha Steve]

I'm doing my daily couple dozen free clicks for charities. I came across this while clicking to help fund Alzheimers research: http://thebreastcancersite.greatergood.com/clickToGive/alz/home?link=ctg_alz_home_from_aut_thank-you_sitenav

This powerful video showcases men and women who have been diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Each page of the book shows a picture of a person with the disease, along with the age of diagnosis, loved ones, interests, and joys. A song about dementia, entitled “You Are Here”, plays in the background. Early-onset Alzheimer’s or dementia can be incredibly tough — but together, we can make a difference.

Take a look at this compelling video.

You are here

God knows what's happening here
I'm all alone in my fear
"Early onset" is what I've been told
I'm too young to be old

All the memories I've known
Are fading into the unknown
The life I lived with the people I love
Are ghosts that haunt me now
And I need to know somehow...

(Chorus)
You are here
You are near
Hold my hand
One thing remains through the years -- you are here.

I look in the mirror and what do I see?
The eyes of a stranger stare back at me
The look is familiar but something is wrong
Like an old forgotten song
Can you help me sing along?

(Chorus)
You are here (Back up vocal- I love you)
You are near
Hold my hand
One thing remains through the years -- you are here.

(Bridge)
All that I know is this moment right now
You may be a stranger but love me somehow
In time you will get to know
Love's hardest lesson is in letting go

One day you'll pack up my things
I'll leave you behind spreading my wings
Forgetting confusion, losing the pain
But I'll remember your name
And I'll love you just the same...

(Chorus repeated)
You are (Back up vocal We love you)
You are near Hold my hand
One thing remains through the years -- you are here.
