A lot of wisdom in it. Most arresting is the despair that ripples from dementia. We now know the physical pain that those afflicted with it endure. Then there is the pain of watching someone we love cease being that person. Just a month ago, one of the congregants at church had a one-minute hug with my wife after sharing that she had been diagnosed with dementia.
Anyways, one of the most important thing anyone does is record the thoughts and memories of our elders. We don't value them nearly enough.
