Glen Campbell is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. He is aware of this and has decided to end his career on his own terms - with dignity and grace. Here is a track from his last studio album - a beautiful song by Guided By Voices. The song is Hold On Hope and it has been a personal favorite since I first heard it on the television show Scrubs several years ago. I like songs about hope. I like anything that has to do with hope. Here's Glen -

Beautiful. And very poignant. My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and I was witness to her daily struggle to hold on to dignity. She never failed. Through the most trying and difficult times she never failed. It was amazing and heartbreaking to see. And I saw it daily. And it was also a gift. I now knew what courage is. I know what grace is and I know what true dignity is. And I hold on hope.
Peace,
Eric
