Terry Pratchett has Alzheimer's.

Pardon me while I weep.

Susan T. said...: That's so sad. A friend's mom had early Alzheimer's, too.; 12/12/2007 10:19 AM
DaviMack said...: Makes me want to cry, truly. Not just that it's a fear of mine - to have my mind leave me - but because he's such a fabulous writer. Yes, it's selfish, but ... it's also that he's such a fabulous person, and I only know him through his writing.

Devastating.

I've read everything I could find of his, several times over. I can't imagine him not being there, writing such fabulous things.

It's like losing Madeline L'Engle or something, really.; 12/12/2007 1:03 PM

Alkelda the Gleeful said...: I'm frustrated by this news, too. It seems that there must be a cure right around the corner... there must. This is a disease that robs a person of his or her personality. It's cruel, and I don't accept it.

There's so much I don't get.; 12/13/2007 9:53 AM
