If I act a little ‘odd’

I’m not trying to get back at you for when you refused to eat your vegetables
(It’s the disease)

If I’m stuck on repeat when we talk,

It’s probably not a new TikTok trend
(It’s the disease)

If I forget who you are,

I’m not trying to get back at you for those teen years
(It’s the disease)

If I confuse you for your Mom,

It’s not that you look ‘that old’
(It’s the disease)

If I forget we’ve got plans,

It’s not because you didn’t leave enough sticky notes
(It’s the disease)

These brain diseases don’t define us.

If you’re feeling like an outlier, frustrated, or overwhelmed, it’s not your fault. Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia are too often

misunderstood
stigmatized
complicated
‘invisible’ to most
and tough to talk about.

We’re working hard to change this and refocus on the person over the disease. We should be

finding hope every day
more confident, with tools and tips to live better
able to talk about it openly, without shame or judgment
supported by family and friends
