I was thinking about the Grammy Awards just a couple of years ago when Glen Campbell took the stage after telling the world he had Alzheimer’s disease. It was a powerful, moving moment.

I have had the privilege of interviewing Kim Campbell and her daughter, Ashley, with music legend about their caregiving journey for a husband and a father diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. The Campbell family’s poignant story is captured in my interview for this article that was originally published on PBS Next Avenue in 2014. The documentary which was released in 2015, I’ll Be Me, is now available on DVD.
