And it happens in real life .....

For all those who have seen 50 First Dates, I read an article on BBC news about a lady who has face blindness. She cannot remember her own face or those of her children or those around her.

The article states that doctors can describe her condition, but do not have a cure for it.

Here's hoping that a cure is found for this rare condition, and many more ....
