'I didn't understand...I was trying to find the words but...now I can't think of anything to say. What was I talking about? Who am I talking to? Where am I? I see the persons lips moving but I don't understand what they're saying...' "Ronald!" Jane responded. "Huh?" "Are you okay Ronald?" Jane asked. I then realized what was around me. The constant beating that showed the rate of my heart. The distant speaking of people outside the room. And Nancy. "Yah...I just spaced out for awhile." I responded. "Are you sure Ronnie? Your heart beat started speeding up. I could get the nurse for you..." I then grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "Please don't leave me, not now," I said. Nancy then nodded her head and sat back down. I could just see it in her eyes. The pain I'm causing her. I don't care about my life, all I care about is making her feel like she isn't hopeless. The life we lived. I'm already 83 years old and now it's soon to end. I was an actor...the governor of California...even President of the United States. But it was nothing of a life until Nancy came into mine. I am happy to say that I am content with my life."Nancy," I said. "Yes, Ronnie?" She responded. "I love you." "I love you to, Ronnie."

Hello, my name is Woodrow Wilson and I am the 28th president of the United States. It must have been very difficult to live with alzheimers disease. I also had poor health when I got older and it made it very difficult for me to be as good as a president as I wanted. The war weakend me and left me sick.
