Come Back Early Today will touch you.
It will make you laugh. It will make you cry.
If you’re an Alzheimer’s caregiver
It will give you information and advice
But mostly, it will give you hope.

It all started the evening Ed called her in a panic because he couldn’t find his scissors. She suggested he go look in his kitchen. First he said he didn’t have a kitchen, then he said he did, but it only had clothes and shoes in it. Sure, there had been plenty of signs before, but this one she couldn’t deny, ignore or explain away. Their lives were about to be turned upside down and changed in ways they never could have imagined.
