As a person, who has personally cared for people who have Alzheimer's I completely understand and grasp the meaning of living "Radiantly". I read several comments and was disheartened because so many do not understand the disease. Someone mentioned that they didn't like the ending because it turned out to be " Just Alzheimer's ". I wanted to tell that person to trying living one day with Alzheimer's. I have worked, 12 years as a nurses assistant and 12 years as a Registered Nurse, a total of 24 years. Whenever I take care of elderly people, I always remind myself that they were not always old and wrinkled. They were once young and vibrant! Thank you to all the writers! You wrote a beautiful story.
