Amnesia... That sucks a lot. I can't imagine having no memory. Well hope she regains her memories soon.

It must be a very scary feeling to not know who you are or where your from.

I not sure if it would be a gift or a curse.

I saw a documentary last year about an english guy in his mid20's who had the same thing and also turned up lost in New York. He was eventually recognised by a friend. It turned out he eventually regained only 60% of his memory.
The surprising thing was that his whole personality had changed and his own childhood friends didn't know him anymore. As he was originally a brash unsensitive uncaring type live fast die young type person. Then after his amnesia he was a more intuitive and understanding person towards others

Its your life experiances that make you who you are. If you lose all that you will become a whole new person. Its like starting with a clean slate.
