I was knocking the door so hard, but no answer. I was worried.
She was talking strange . Whenever she talked to my friends she was telling them how I mistreated her, trying to kick her out, bringing my boyfriends , which none of them was true. Ones she told me that one of my friends has stolen her new pot, because she wasn't able to find it.
She was always slow but she had been slower about daily work. She had begun losing her way. When I confronted her, she was saying, no, I was just walking around!

She was more and more paranoid to her relatives and friends, but most of all to me! I found her crying many times and talking to her self. Ones she told me that she was not going to see my cousin again because she had caught her on my dad's lap years ago! She also begun talking to people either disliked or never trusted before!
Forgetfulness was the first signs actually. .I noticed that her writing was getting worse, but so was mine, as a doctor writing many prescriptions everyday!
It was my worst day when day called me from hospital that she tossed her bags in to garbage and never seen after. When people saw her acting strange with improper clothes on, they called me.
So I called everybody who knows her but nowhere to be found. Police had searched the whole county. . I was almost sure she was death somewhere. My friend was trying to calm me down looking for Turkish coffee fortune telling!
I found her next day on the main door .When she saw me she began screaming: "Police ! Help! She is going to kill me!" That was the day I took her to the psychiatry clinic. I was told that she had Alzheimer disease.
I soon began to think if I will have the same destiny!
