i have to certainly agree. the article itself was a thing of beauty, so poignant as to be a work of art in and of itself. the suffering that individuals experience with alzheimers is a great sorrow in this world, and it's always so awful to hear of it, but yet it fed such a powerful expression and brought so many disparate people together in the HN comments section for the article to express such beauty and vulnerability with regards to their own suffering and experiences in life related to the topic at hand. i am fairly stingy with up votes too but I think just about everything said here deserves one as well :)
