This is Mr. "M". He carrys a slip of paper with "Alzheimers" written on it so he can remember what he has. He looks at life through a fog. Though he can barely remember the name of his wife, he has not forgotten the pain of losing her. So many happy memories are gone. They have been replaced with muddled thoughts and feelings of confusion. Simple tasks like eating breakfast or putting on a seatbelt leave him totally confused. What hope is there for his future?
