If there is a section written by people with dementia or told to others, I can’t find it. Or frankly of those caregivers of. Maybe I missed it. I hope you and your mum are doing well.

I see I asked you that question before. 🤯 Thanks for responding again. I went right past that vid.

Jenny has been ( too) busy with her Program Manager position and I spend my time on Substack and Law & Order reruns. And this season for us is college basketball. Thinking about thinking about find or reviving a bygone habit. If I didn’t have the visual - spatial symptom I’d pick up juggling again. I re-picked it up years ago and in my heyday I was working on 5 balls and 4 clubs. Anyhoo, it was a lot of fun doing it to music.

You're welcome, Judi...Law and Order's good! Wow, juggling! I'm not great at coordination!

There will be some great concerts coming this season I'm sure. I know you love music. Sending you both warm wishes.

HI Judi - the video documentary in this article, under 'Resources' has people with dementia voicing their thoughts.

Thanks we're fine, navigating medical appointments and my mentoring of business clients. I hope you and Jenny are well.

Victoria, I very much appreciated the inside view you gave of your father’s dementia. It was, however scary. I applaud you in your service, as well.

Thanks, Judi. Hugs. I hear you and empathise with the fear. Dad had frustrated fear, sad fear. While it was difficult and painful for him and us, our love and connection together, in the smallest moments and silliest giggles, were our balm.
