Kenny Chesney - While He Still Knows Who I Am - An Alzheimer's Tribute

My mom is in stage 6 and lives with me. I promised my dad before he died I’d never put her in a home. I had to quit my job this year to care for her 24x7. There is no disease that is harder than this disease. My mom has been my best friend for 47 years and each day I loose a little more of her.

If you haven’t been thru this pain... just know it's beyond what you can imagine

My mom doesn’t know me anymore but she pretends she does that’s how beautiful her soul is

Wow! You can't listen to this and not cry. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

How could anyone give this a thumbs down? If you have suffered the tragedy of Alzheimer’s with a loved one.. it’s heartbreaking to see the person you have always known and they don’t know you😢

My wife, Ann, is 16 years into Alzheimers and in the 3 years she has been in a nursing home I have spent 3 hours a day with her and we spend most of that time singing and praying with other residents. She can still sing all the words.

My grandfather had this horrid disease for Over 20yrs! He was my "first love", my gentle giant, trouble maker, and gave the best hugs Ever! He's been gone 4yrs now and I miss him Everyday. Thank you for this song.

My dad was in the hospital, and pulled me aside and told me we ( his children) needed to take of his sweetheart, from here in out because he knew he wasn't going to make it. He made me promise we would never put her in a home, and we would let her just live at home and have her memories, and that I would help take care of her. I took my dads hand, kissed his cheek, and promised him. My parents had been married for 54 years very happily when he passed, and I wasn't sure mom would last long after him. Amazingly, she lasted 9 years, and with Dementia and then Alzheimers, and then hospice. I had worked in medical, and in journalism, but both jobs had to stop as the Dr. Said my mom needed someone with her full time or she had to go in a home. I reminded the Dr what my father had wanted if it was safe and possible. So I moved in with my mom, to help take care of her. She didnt like that term , so I told her we were two ladies taking care of each other. She thought about it, and finally agreed. Some days were good, and others were heartwrenching. I love watching these films, because they are relateable, and so sweet. God bless you all 🙏❤️

I lost my dad April 30, 2019 because of this disease. He was my hero and my mentor as a firefighter. At the end, he didn't even know my name or who I was. This song made be ball my eyes out. I miss my dad so much. Anyone fighting this disease or caring for someone who is, my prayers go out for you.

My Mom passed from this evil disease. Song made me cry. Ann 09.25.22 😢 I miss you Mom, your with Jesus now, being a RN to heaven. Thank you for all you gave to us. ❤🙏🏼

I work on a lock down dementia unit and we show our residents pictures of their family everyday as therapy. I care for my residents as if they are my parents. 🙏

I've recently been diagnosed as being in the early stages of dementia... This song moves me to tears tonight.

My grandfather of 82 years passed away with Alzheimer's he was there when I was born when i took my first breath and i was there when he took his last breath... It started with him not knowing how to operate the remote and he kept saying im sorry im sorry im sorry like he knew he was slipping and with tears in my eyes i told him dont be sorry its okay then he would take apart stuff and not know how to put it back together. The. He didnt know anyone to the point he was bed ridden and couldnt talk. If you have a loved one with this horrible disease spend time with them talk to them they took care of you do the same in loving return cuz they will need you more than ever. It may steal memories but the love is still there 💙

It's with deepest regrets that I share that I buried my father this past weekend with Navy honors. He was the inspiration for this video I created and will forever be missed.

Took care of my dad till the day he died Now taking care of my 87 year old mom It’s hard seeing your parents get old

Beautiful song. My grandfather and grandmother suffered with horrible disease. Now my sister has been told she has dementia It breaks my heart to know one day my sister won't know me. Prayers for all the families and victims of this horrible disease.

I'm not a fan of country but I will always remember this man, Kenny Chesney. This is the nicest, sweetest music video that I've ever seen.

I know others might disagree with me but Alzheimer’s is the worst thing that can happen to a loved one. You don’t only lose them in death but you lose them when they forget the memories or who you are. I just lost my beautiful mama and it’s horrible when your mama doesn’t know who you are. May God Bless all of us who has gone through this or had someone we love pass from this horrific disease

2021 and crying like a baby.. my rock, my anchor, my father that always loved me no matter what. Died without knowing who I was. RIP dad, 10 years and still missing you.

God Bless Your family Ken.This is Mike in Canada 🇨🇦.I know that your love of your family will not be in vain.He and they will always love and remember you for being a fine young man and son. Regards from all who are thinking of you.
