Going Home
Some friends posted this youtube video on facebook.
Honestly, I cried watching this.
This video isn’t just about dementia, it’s about living with dementia in the family. While some may say that such a thing wouldn’t happen to anyone in their family, who’s to be absolutely certain of that? Of note, elderly dementia is very relevant to anyone, to families, and people only start to realise after it hits. There is no cure for it, not even prevention for it, just gradual. Why wait till it happens and we start to regret, when we can learn to stop being complacent and show more concern right now.
I was amazed by the fact that love and a simple promise to get food was the sole reason that kept the ah ma from forgetting about her grand-daughter, and that bolstered her determination in trying to get home just to give the girl food. To act on to even the simplest and most trivial of promises, that’s how true love empowers people.

Love never forgets.
Wow old women can act.
