On the plus side, Grandpa Van Mol had late onset, which isn't particularly genetic, and happens eventually to 1 in 5 women if they live past 85. By then you won't probably won't need to find keys for a car anyway.

err, i don't mean that mom is in denial about what is going on. more like she refuses to give into the negativity and focus on working through.

Your doggie is adorable.

I'm very sorry to hear about your father. I suppose most people have to go through such things, but you never imagine what it'll feel like when it happens to you.
