What a Sad Story

When I read the first chapter of the "Notebook", I was quite moved.  The story is about an old man in a nursing home who is trying to make his love remember.  He reads out this notebook to her everyday hoping that one day she might remember their life together.  This story made me think about my own life.  Like what will I be doing when I am old.  Will I be surrounded by family?  Will I be alone?  I don't know.  I really feel for the family members of Alzheimer's victim's.  I think that is the worst thing that can happen to a person.  Forgetting who you are.
