Nonetheless my grandmother has almost no short-term memory any more and she appears to be one of the happiest people I know. Always playing tricks on my grandfather and laughing at the most inane things. The fact that she can't really hear either doesn't get in the way. And I'm sure I've never seen such affection from a wife toward her husband. It's quite amazing what losing your adult sensibilities can do for you sometimes.
I wonder if the secret is to lose them before nature takes them from you.

Age doesnt come with only negative things.
Maybe losing some things is only good when you can't remember them. I see stuff like that all the time with my patients...but not all of them are miserable. It is an odd thing to see happening though.
