Before the Diagnosis

This book is a love story and a labor of love. It is an anthology of stories by 36 authors each about a relative they have known and loved before that person was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease or another type of dementia. First and foremost these stories are about human beings. They are about moms dads attorneys teachers sailors dreamers doers and lovers. They are about people like you and me; people with hopes and plans for the future who lived or are still living a life worth remembering. I hope what you read in these pages touches your life.
