She's forgotten so much but her lovely personality shines through.

She says "well thank you" each time he tells her the answer. What a doll!

She’s so sweet and polite saying things like “Pardon me, dear?” and “Well, thank you!”. It’s sad how these amazing people get taken from this disease.

Almost everyone with Alzheimers will revert back to either their 20s or child years. As a Nurse, the most common "pattern" that I've noticed is this: The closer they were to dying, the more they would call out and/or ask for their mother. (90 years old calling out for "Mom!" ) It was heartbreaking. I would just sit with them holding their hands as long as time would allow. The only good part of the job that I felt true purpose in was simply being a comfort to them. Making them smile and laugh.

Bro that’s crazy she thinks she’s 23 I didn’t know alzheimers was that severe

She’s the sweetest, most polite little lady.

She might have forgotten her age and her name but she hasn't forgotten her manners, she's so sweet!

Hi Everyone. Thank you for the many kind comments about my mother. Of course there were a few snarky ones too. My mother loved these conversations, she found this a pleasant way to engage. Some people may find this frustrating - and eventually, impossible. The donuts were always a plus. For those that have wondered, she passed away. Like many older people, she had a fall and that just took her down fairly quickly. For those of you going through this now, please know your experience is unique to you and extremely challenging. Do your best to show your love and have little or no expectations. You are not alone.

“My last name?.. well now that’s a good one!” Hahah I love this woman

Someone might lose their memory but they never lose their soul

She is so gentle and polite, "Honey," and "Dear," and "Golly." And what a heartbreak to lose your mom that way.

*Sharlene Palmer* the way she says thank you after every correction is priceless...God bless her soul

When she said she was 22.... I would have said, YES.... Absolutely. You’re 22! She SO cute ❤️

This woma seems like such a pleasant woman. So sad that Alzheimer’s took away her memories.

She may have forgotten many things but her sweet polite soul shines bright.

Oh she's such a Dear Lady. My Mom is 87. She lives in Portage, MI. I am blessed that she is extremely healthy, mobile, and very high functioning. We send you our hugs and much respect, Steve.

It's so sad how she remembers all her kids at first, and then she forgets at the end.

What a kind woman. Such class. I wish those manners were still a thing

She may forget but she hasn't forgotten gratitude and humility that's really beautiful

She is such an angel, she reminds me of my grandma who had Alzheimers for as long as i could remember. During my late teens my younger sister and i spent most of our days talking with her and giving her company since my parents had her move in with us so she could be with family. I remember one day in particular she thought she was 20 and thought we were her friends whose house she came over to, she was 90 at the time. She asked us to call her boyfriend, my grandpa, so he could pick her up and take her home. He died about 10 years prior so it was heartbreaking, but we kept telling her he was on his way over and “should be here soon”. She sat down and waited for him, and forgot a couple minutes after. She died a couple years ago but i still think about our days together.

"I don't know the kids' names...I don't think I ever knew them."

The look of despair in her eyes while shes trying to find answers. It can actually scare a person with Alzheimers. Make her as comfortable as possible 🙏🏻

When she said she was 22 and changed it to 23 I laughed... You're only as old as you feel.❤❤❤❤❤

She’s like, “leave me alone and let me eat this deliciousness.” What a sweetheart!

When she said 22 my heart just exploded...i personally feel we all think we are 16...its our bodies that just don't know

What a horrid disease. At least she doesn't appear to be in pain.

She’s such a sweetheart, I can imagine her before this horrible disease took her.

I’m seeing this 6 years after it was posted. This woman is so pleasant and polite. “Thank you.” “Very nice.” I just love her.

The way she thanks him after each time she gets or he tells her an answer in so sweet. I cants stop crying... My heart

She’s a sweetheart. And that’s a horrendous disease.

When she says "what honey?, what dear?" It makes me cry. Sweet lady. God bless her 🙌

During one of the most important times of my life, in regards to establishing a career, I took care of my Grandmother with Alzheimer's. No other family members offered to help, and they sure were happy that the grandson was taking care of it so they wouldn't have to. Upon her death, I was told to begin thinking about finding another home as they wanted to sell the house. It's 5 years later and the house still sits, showily degrading. I eventually got my Bachelor's degree to teach Spanish and lived/traveled throughout Latin America for several years. It's been hard getting back on track as I have nothing on my resume for those 5 years. I felt like I was in prison (because leaving her would mean the family would send her off to some nursing home), but I love my Grandma. It's been several years since and what I can say is this: I am happy that I was there for her and was the only face she recognized. When she was afraid, she would calm down by seeing me and knowing I was there. Although it was very difficult, I'll truly cherish those memories we shared together. I love you and miss you, Grandma. Although she became progressively worse, she never forgot how to play the piano and she remembered lyrics quite well!

“How old are you?” “22..” She’s such a gem! I would’ve played along like, “Well darling, you are only as old as you feel.” Lol! Seriously though, what a terrible illness. May God continue to bless, and guide you both along the journey. 💕

When she asked, "How old am I right here??" Pointing to her heart. She seems to have been saying, ' I am young-at-heart! Bless her heart. My Mother has Alhzheimers, now. 💔😭

This made me tear up - she's such a sweet old lady (saying things like 'what hunny'?). If she thinks she is 22 or 23 tho she can't be feeling too bad!

There is a reason she is talking so politely, She is 22 years old and talking like how people talked 60 years ago.

What a gem she is, so very well mannered.

“How old am I here?” Very interesting way of phrasing for her. I’m intrigued on where else she goes when she’s not here. Hell knows I’d be reliving my 20’s if I was in her position

Bless her. She’s so kind and polite. I’m thankful Alzheimer’s hasn’t taken her sweet disposition away.

What a beautiful lady, inside and out. So kind and sweet!

You can tell she has always been a sweet soul

She's lovely. Her kind soul is shining.

She’s so cuuuuute! Good job being patient with her. It’s heartwarming ☺️

Alzheimer's is horrible! She seems like such a sweet person!

She still has the most lovely manners.

The last time I visited my MIL with advanced Alzheimers she asked me if I would like a chocolate and it was just as lucid as she would have asked when she was well. It will stay with me forever. She had no idea who I was but still, she offered to share her chocolates... bless her heart. I think the lucid moments are the most difficult but also very special - just a small reminder of who they once were and how that person is ever present but in ever diminishing moments.

The most devastating thing I've ever experienced was the day I asked my mom "do you remember my name?" and she just stared at me. It's heartbreaking to see someone go through this, she seems very strong for how gentle she comes across, I wish you strength for whatever your future holds.

It's a cruel disease ..bless her She is 21..22 and in her mind Bringing up family erased

Bless her heart She's 22.

I wish my grandma was like this. She always gets annoyed when anyone implies she doesn't remember something and is really prideful about it. So it's hard to be around her because she's constantly complaining and getting irritated. But she's also really stressed out because she doens't know where she is. I feel really sorry for her and it's heartbreaking to visit. :(

I LOVE how she says “thank-you” so sweetly after a bit of help remembering names and such! I can only hope to be like her if I follow the statistics of probability that I will develop a dying brain eventually. Is dementia, a dying brain, really worse than some other ways to end our time on earth, if we are surrounded by people who share their love with us? We have time to say goodbye while those who were estranged have a second chance, an opportunity to return like a prodigal child...

My Dad got this and past away, it’s a horrible thing to go through

My daughter's name is Charlene, she just turned 8. I hope she's as strong as this lady 🖤

My grandfather just passed. We were very tight he raised me and was like my father. I’m 25, he was 88. He passed on Christmas Day. He was just like this. So polite and kind and such a pleasure to talk to. Thank you for the video. It really brightened my day. God bless you and Ms. Charlene.

Her loving and nurturing energy is very much still there, I feel it intensely. I’ve worked with patients who share her diagnosis, and without a doubt, angry and narcissistic people deteriorated a lot faster and were miserable, whereas loving and caring people were happy till the end.

As long as she doesn’t get distressed with questions. You really shouldn’t quiz a person if they have dementia.

I have never seen someone so upbeat that has Alzheimer’s.

My mother has an Alzheimer and is 87 as well. Conversation with her looks just the same, and my mom is nice, warm, thankful and beautiful just like yours. She can’t name or remember anything, but I know that our presence feels good and special to her, just like when she was healthy, as I see it in her eyes and happy responses. She can’t find the words to say who I am but she feels who I am. . Thank you for sharing your conversation with your mother.

Bless this beautiful woman.

Q: What City do you live in? A: It's a nice one. That's for sure. We get along well. Note: The correct answer is irrelevant.

She’s so sweet and polite. She’s a gem. God bless her!

My grandmother had Alzheimer’s disease. It was very difficult watching her slowly lose all of her memories. God bless this woman and her family.

You have such a lovely, gentle mum.

What a lovely woman, this disease is so terrible i wish her and every other person Who shares this disease the best, what an absolute gem she is

What a beautiful lady! So sweet and polite- God Bless your MOTHER and family knowing God is with you on this journey

The way she always has to ask for clarification after everything is too relatable :(

This reminds me so much of the last few years of my mother’s life. Pleasantly confused, but remained gentle and polite. So happy to see that she does not seem to be grieved at all by memory loss. My mom forgot that she couldn’t remember, which made her life so much calmer.

There is nothing more beautiful than the motherly smile.

She is a sweet, gentle soul. "They may not remember what you did, but they remember how you made them feel."

Her face lit up when she asked „Do you know my kids names“ and you answered with „yes“🥰

Dementia runs in my family and I really hope I can be this polite if I lose my memory! What a lovely woman

What a beautiful sweet soul is your lovely Mom. God bless both of you guys.

Kid I went to school with. His grandfather had alzheimers. He woke up one morning and had forgot he ever learned English. He spoke German only for the rest of his life. Eventually it erases your entire life.

What a wonderfully sweet woman! The smile in her eyes as she says “thank you” after he tells her stuff she has forgotten. I bet she is a sweet woman.

She is so cute. God bless her and the family. Alzheimer's is such a terrible disease. Treasure your momma. She is a gift.

What a sweetheart ❤ so kind in her responses and gratitude for his help with remembering.

I want to hug this beautiful lady. My heart broke watching this...❤️❤️

Its good she is not terribly distressed and distraught that she cannot remember. She seems calm and contented ❤

My grandmas last name was palmer. She died from dementia. Im in texas visiting my dad and stepmother. She is 74 and has dementia. Shes a little bit worse off than this lady. Its so sad and scary.. Cherish every minute with your family

Bless her heart. She seems like she’s such a sweet woman and wonderful mother

What a sweet heart... My husband suffered from this but did remember who I was until he died.

Great to see her really pleasant personality shining through.

I had a man 73 with dementia and acted as if he was 17. He was healthy. People was always angry at him but he was good to me. His son treated me well. That is one memory I will keep for a long time. He even stood up for me when he thought I was wronged. He was a good man.

How precious. She is so soft spoken & cordial.... wish I would have had a sweet mom like her. 💜

She's beautiful..enjoy every day with her! Mother's are such a blessing..I miss mine so much..what I wouldn't give for another day here with her! Best part is ..I'll see her when I meet up with her in heaven. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MOM!

Your mom is a sweetheart. She is so positive and loving and gentle. Peace, Stephen. Thank you for this!!

What a beautiful lady, she's got a wonderful grace about her. God bless 😘

She's so sweet.

My mother is 89 and even though mom has moments where she is in the wrong time (thinking her parents are alive or our cat is still alive when it isn't), she can remember everything from her past no matter how many times you ask her. Yet ask her what she did 2 hours ago, she can't remember. My father died at 97 and was still fixing lamps up until his death - sharp as a tack!

She’s so sweet and polite. What a horrible affliction. 🥺

My grandmother is 93 now, she doesn't remember me, she asked me who I am every day but I love her so much... bless all of them elders.

“What’s your last name?” “Oh that’s a good one” SENT ME 😂😂😂😂

She’s seems so sweet, I can imagine what kind of person she was before this devastating illness

Oh my gosh, I love her so much, her personality is SO lovely 🥺🤍

I miss working in senior care! You’re mother is the ones that always made my job amazing and proud of what I was doing for them

Awe she’s such a positive person and seems like a lovely women. God bless.

My Daddy had Alzheimer's and couldn't tell me what he had for breakfast but he could tell me about a day back in 1949 like it was yesterday. I stayed with him during the last 2 years of his life and I learned so much about family history, dates, uncles who were killed in WWII, jobs my Papa had, it was amazing what all I learned. As their caretaker and child, you just have to go back in time with them and have a conversation about the past and forget about current names and people and ages.

What a beautiful lady she is. So polite & gorgeous. My father has dementia & is angry & often nasty.

She’s so precious, omg I just wanna give her a hug 🤗🙏🏼💗 God bless her!

Awwe..This lady is precious.. I just looked her up and it said she passed away on August 25, 2018.. Bless her sweet heart..
