Yeah, my cousin's GF is amazing! Both have partners that will go to great lengths for them.

Makes me wonder if i, at 34, will ever find someone...or if i'll die alone and/or become that "crazy cat lady" i always hated as a kid

Im sorry for your uncles diagnosis and for his wife - it must be so upsetting and confronting for them both - I hope that the best possible oputcome is achieved
Yeah, that and diabeties (my dad is diabetic) runs in the family. His mom had it, his dad died too young but 2 brothers and one of his sisters has it.

My dad had been showing early signs for years and finally I got him to allow the VA to test him and thank goodness he's negitive for any signs of dementia!

He's constantly doing puzzles (crossword daily in the paper, scrabble 24/7 it seems) so it has seemed to help (or at least he's always done it and doesnt have it so i dunno). My dad is 74, so he's at that age, you know?

But though im 34, he can runs circles around me now. I find that sad for me but awesome that he is as active as he is.
