Hi I'm Nathan and I'm ten years old. My mom's mom has Alzheimer's disease and even though I didn't really get to know her, I know that she lives inside me and I know her in my thoughts.

I hope all families who have this problem will start to feel better because it's hard. The person with the disease doesn't know who their loved ones are and who loved and helped them out in life.

I want my grandmom , JG, to know that I love her , that's the main thing. I'm sorry that I never got to really know her and I bet if she wasn't diagnosed that we would have a lot of fun together and do some cool stuff.

I like what you're doing at Leezas Place because you're helping families feel better. They really try hard and they get so tired and so exhausted but they know they are doing something good. At Leezas Place you're making people's lives a little bit easier. It's important to talk about it because that's the only way other people know how to help you. You're helping families have power to help make their lives easier.

For every kid who loves someone or struggling with their parents or grandparents with Alzheimer's disease, just do the best you can and just wish every single night that it gets better.

It makes me feel kinda sad knowing how many people have this problem, but it makes me feel good inside when I help out. Sometimes you feel helpless and that you don't really know what to do, but the only thing to do then is try to help more. I'm wishing especially for my Grandpa, Pops, so that he can feel ok and comfortable and just make sure that he isn't that sad.
