A few weeks ago, social media was going bonkers over an app that allowed you to upload a picture and then apply an “old age” filter to it. I kept seeing these pictures of friends pop up on my Facebook feed and realized that Alzheimer’s is able to apply that same filter to someone in a remarkably short time. The difference in these photos is a little less than 2 years. It’s as if the light is slowly going out.
Putting these two photos together as these thoughts rolled around in my head has renewed my passion for continuing to bring awareness to what this disease can do.
Many people, after trying out the app to see how they’d look older, just deleted it.
We need to start getting serious about just deleting Alzheimer’s Disease. Now.
