Mild memory lapses are a normal part of the aging prosess. As
             people get older, they may misplace thing or forget things more often. Normal
             forgetfulness may get annoying, but it's not severe enough to interfere with daily
             functioning. On the other hand, Alzheimer's disease, is a progressive, degenerative
             disease in which memory continues to decline over time until it is profoundly impaired.
             Eventually patients are left unable to perform simple task such as eating and dressing

             struggling with it understands their concern. Watching someone's memory fade over time,

             People with dementia often find it hard to complete everyday tasks that are so familiar that
