Alzheimer's: What becomes unimportant

"Both my mother and sister experienced loss of memory, how to dress as to what color went with another. They giggled when caught doing the wrong thing. They didn’t remember important dates or meetings.”

This description shows how the important and simple things can be “lost” to Alzheimer’s. It makes no sense to the rest of us when somebody forgets how to pick out clothes to wear when they’ve been doing it most of their lives. That’s just one of many things that will become very unimportant in the “priorities of life” list.
