Chely, both my dad's father and my mom's grandmother had it. It is a very sad disease, but it sounds like she is in the very early stages and she will always be your mother. Yes, eventually it does take your mind, but along with that comes humor (i know, hard to believe now) pin, happiness, and sadness. Just remember to continue to tell her you love her alot!!! She will remember when she gets bad. My mother took my dad's father in and he lived with us for a long time. Near the end of his life he had lost al most all memory but still remembered my mother. He was very special to my mom. It is a terrible disease but if you think positively, it is not deadly, you have a long time to come before it gets really bad, and there is alot of research going on, maybe they will find a cure. Good luck, and if you need to talk to someone who has gone through it e- mail my mom Debbie, at marcandluv@aol.com. keep up the hope sweety!! Marci
