Every single day I think about how to make sure I never wind up in a home or with someone taking care of me like my aunt has to do with my oldest uncle now. Or several of my friends are doing. It's such a gigantic burden on the whole family. I used to always say I'll just fall off a mountain. But someone died trying to find a lost hiker on Mt. Baldy a few weeks ago. So that's not cool to put people through that.

Losing my mother to Alzheimer's/Parkinson's. Most brutal thing I've ever experienced by a magnitude of a million. No words for it. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. To see a woman who was always the center of attention and the life of the party reduced to what she is now is soul-crushing. The only positive is that they have money so she's been able to stay in her home with full-time care.
If you have a family history of it, make turmeric a part of your daily health regimen.
