feel better about yourself? Feel validated for your pathetic existence? What kind of sad ignorant little inbred after birth reject are you to not understand what this video was about? This was an excellent video and was incredibly moving. Sadists like yourself are so introverted that logic and empathy couldn’t hit you in the face if they were made out of steel. You should reevaluate your understandings of the world around you, or do us all a favor and refrain from speaking.

Alzheimer’s is the most depressing disease. My grandfather had it, but it was a mild version, he still knew his family. I had a friend in highschool whose grandmother had severe Alzheimer’s, didn’t know who or where she was most of the time. If there is a god, I’d like to ask it was the point of this disease is, for I can’t think of anything more demonic. It is such a sad disease for everyone. Any proof I need for there not being a god is Alzheimer’s, for why would a loving god allow this

Only people that know someone with Alzheimers can understand this. My grandma lives up the street and has it. She calls me “Bella” and knocks on the door at midnight. I know it will end how this does. Amazing video.
