A Walk up Barrow Hill…

Anna sat frozen on the couch, staring aimlessly at the corner of the wall. Her stomach roared with hunger pangs, but she no longer felt the discomfort.

It felt numb to her now. She felt numb.

Wishing she felt nothing for the endless craving, that ate at her very soul each and every day. She longed to forget.

Anna closed her eyes; taking in a deep breath to control her desires. It was no use. She was at its mercy.

Feeling defeated, she quickly, but cautiously entered the kitchen. She knew she would regret this. She made a mental note to take a trip into town to purchase another package, before her mother got home and noticed them missing.

Slowly and then eagerly, she ripped open the package of cookies, shoving them effortlessly into her mouth. Within minutes, she had consumed the entire package.

Feeling defeated, she slumped to the floor, as tears spilled down her checks. She knew she had failed once again.

Alzheimer’s Disease

If anyone is looking to watch a great movie….I recommend “Still Alice”.  It’s a beautifully written movie about a college Professor who develops Alzheimer’s Disease.  It’s a touching story of one woman’s struggles, while losing her memory and eventually her mind.  She has a rare form of the disease that is genetically carried on to her children.

I can personally relate to her story because my grandmother developed the disease when she was in her sixties.  It’s very sad to watch, as a most intelligent mind starts to forget even the simplest task, such as trying finding their bathroom in their own home. They know their  minds are deteriorating, but there is nothing they can do but try to cover it up.

If you or someone you know is severing with Alzheimer’s Disease, please feel free to comment here.  The more we can talk about it, the more we can find a cure to this horrible disease.
