Thatchers Daughter Reveals Ex Premier Has Dementia by Kevin Sullivan for the Washington Post
On Tuesday, August 26, 2008, Kevin Sullivan wrote a piece for the Washington Post that the former prime minister of Britain, Margaret Thatcher, now 82, has a form of geriatric onset dementia.
Although such as been rumored for quite sometime; for many of us who admired her public service – whether or not we agreed with all of her decisions and approaches - the news was greeted with great sadness.
History will be kind to Mrs. Thatcher.
However, even more so sad was the reaction of too many folks in the comment section.
For many of us who have never gotten used to the vile personal viciousness of the left, the comments seemed way over the top. (Related - See: 20031205 Bush Derangement Syndrome by Charles Krauthammer.)

Thatcher's condition has deteriorated so much that she forgets that her husband, Denis Thatcher, died in 2003, her daughter reports in a memoir to be published next month, serialized over the weekend in the Mail on Sunday newspaper.
"I had to keep giving her the bad news over and over again," Carol Thatcher wrote. "Every time it finally sank in that she had lost her husband of more than 50 years, she'd look at me sadly and say 'Oh' as I struggled to compose myself. 'Were we all there?' she'd ask softly."
Carol Thatcher said she first noticed her mother's failing memory over lunch in 2000, a decade after she left 10 Downing Street. Margaret Thatcher was prime minister from 1979 to 1990.
[…]
In her book, "A Swim-On Part in the Goldfish Bowl: A Memoir," Carol Thatcher wrote that her mother still shows flashes of her old self, particularly about events from her time in office.

Political opinions aside, it is unfortunate when anyone suffers from cognitive decline. This just goes to show that cognitive decline can impact anyone and everyone. For this reason, we should all consider to take extra steps to help prevent cognitive decline. I personally am taking brain training games and have found them to be helpful. If you are interested in reading some reviews of the top brain training games, I have a few reviews on my site.
