Life is good.'  Life wanted to throw in a plot twist.    My Dad, Manfred was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease and a switch was turned on that filled me with the need to understand all I could about this disease. I did. My life now has been about facilitating workshops, presenting keynotes and assisting in writing curriculum, all to help people understand the world of the disease and the person living with the disease.    Dad died in 2000 and my Mom, Virginia was diagnosed a year and a half later.    My life has been surrounded by Alzheimer's. And that is not a bad thing - just different. I believe we need to change how we see persons living with dementia, break down the wall of stigma and show what life CAN be for ever
