He’s 88 but gives hiself over 95, I’m 20 but he gives me over 50. This is my grandpa, he has had Alzheimer’s disease since few years now. He recognizes me but forgets my name sometimes. He has moments of absence, of perdition, but also moments of luci- dity. He often thinks of death: «She leaves me here, but it’s soon my turn. «. He would like to be 100 years old, “the round count” as he says. He also knows he’s losing his mind and can’t do as much as he used to. He becomes a child again, he needs to be accompanied and surrounded. Granny watches over him on a daily basis, I remain present for him.
