Yours was a serious post and I appreciate it but I will reply with a story from my own parents who have both passed away but could be funny about these things too.
I visited my Dad in the old age home and he wanted to go outside and smoke and talk. In the home there were two TV rooms, one for those who knew it was on and the other where they were less aware. Going outside involved passing through the TV room where no one knew it was on and it was full of ladies. My Dad would greet them all cheerfully and there would be a chorus of random responses from the ladies. Outside I asked him what was wrong with them all. His response "they have Alzheimer's" . I asked him why there were no men, he looked at me and laughed and said "they are all dead!" Steem on Dad
