Life is like a tapestry, woven from memories of people and events. Your unique tapestry reminds you of who you are, where you've been and what you've done.

People in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias often have difficulty recalling recent events, but memories from early in life may remain. Sadly, Alzheimer's disease gradually takes these memories, too. If you're caring for someone with dementia you can help him or her manage the start of memory loss by creating a memory box or bank.
