I noticed tonight that I am most focused when I read your stories; it made me wonder why is that some reads transfix us and others do not...it's not planned -- I just noticed.

There's a lot of dementia in my family...I've witnessed it SO many times. I've heard countless stories from friends, family and many a day ago - clients.

My parents are getting up there and the question looms: will they have it one day? How will I handle it?

Thank you for this story:

"meet them where they are"....I won't forget, shall it become a reality that I hope doesn't present itself...but hey, who ever does?

Peace Dr. Gardner -- you boys did a wonderful job with mom. I have three sons...I would be so proud if my story is told by one of them as you did today. 😌
