A woman said she 'cried for three days' after her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at just 51.
Three years on, life continues for Laura Granger and her husband Tim as normal as possible.
The western Sydney mother-of-two began seeing changes in her husband of 33 years when he started to misplace objects and not react to things the way he used to.
Tim Granger, pictured with life Laura, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's at the age of 51
She told 9news.com.au it took her husband a long time to come to terms with the fact that things were different.
'He would put the flour in the cupboard with the glasses, leave the front door wide open, his car door open,' Mrs Granger said.
She admitted she was originally too embarrassed to tell friends and family Tim had Alzheimer’s but has since been inundated with support from everyone they know.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia and affects up to 70 per cent of all people with dementia.
Mr Granger no longer drives, struggles to dress himself, has forgotten how to write and spell and can no longer cook unassisted, a hobby he once loved.
But he can still hold a conversation and continues to have a positive outlook on life.
Despite his diagnosis, Tim Granger (pictured) continues to enjoy the fine things in life
He regular attends Dementia Australia meetings, works out with a personal trainer and is passionate about raising awareness about the disease.
'I decided I was going to go ahead with it and take it as it is. Obviously, it's always on your mind but you don't whinge and moan about it,' Mr Granger said.
One thing the disease hasn't taken from him is a love for travelling.

The couple have recently returned from a holiday in Italy, where he ticked Cinque Terre off his bucket list.
While there currently is no cure for Alzheimer's, the Grangers avoid dwelling on what the future holds longer term.
'I don't like to think about what is next or how he'll deteriorate. We just live in the now and deal with things as they come,' Mrs Granger said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
