My Baby Brother has Alzheimer's Disease

That was hard to type. It is profound to feel. Scott was born with Down's Syndrome, struggled with schizophrenia since his 30s, and now our great heart has a new burden. He is 45 years old. He will bear this with the same gift of spirit that he has lived with all along. He probably doesn't understand what is happening in his brain, and I'm asking the universe to help him never to be afraid. He is a titan of understanding, a generous soul, and I hope we have the humility, courage and divine guidance to learn from my baby brother what we all will need to remember in the years to come.

We will be with you with love, dear Scotty.
