    I was a little bit afraid to watch this video. My Mum was diagnosed diagnosed with Alzheimer's a year and a half ago. She's in the early stages yet, and it hurts me that some day, she won't remember who I am. But like Violetta, my mum is a very happy person, always smiling and laughing. I've been afraid to imagine what will happen to her as her disease progresses. But this video was so lovely, and so positive without that toxic element that "positivity" can sometimes take on. I think that I'll come back to it often in the future, when I'm scared for my mum, and need desperately to remember that she really just needs to be loved. Thank you so very much for sharing this. All the best! ❤
