My grandfather is a great man but now he has alzheimers. Every week my grandmother goes to an alzheimers meeting with the other spouses of alzheimers victims and they talk about the difficulties and try to figure out how they can make it easier. I picked her up from the meeting today, and in the car she told me about how earlier that day, when she was being picked up by my uncle to go to the meeting, my grandfather had asked where it was she was going.

'To the alzheimers meeting' she had said.

To which my grandfather replied, 'Who has alzheimers - you or me?'

We chuckled about that in the car. It was forced, but sometimes you have to laugh at the stuff that really isn't funny cuz that's the only way to deal with it.
