Hi Susan! Great article.
My mil suffers from Alzheimer's disease. When we visit her she lights right up. We know our visits bring her comfort. Sometimes she acts like a kid again w/ the giggling and wanting hugs and to hold hands. She remembers some things too I think. When my daughter Alexis was born (almost 5 yrs ago) a visit to her was one of the first places we went. (she was still at home then) I believe she still remembers that visit to this day. Every time I see her she makes a cradling motion and says bbb baby baby. Selfishly that brings me comfort, knowing that she "remembers" her grand daughter. Our visits teach my daughter compassion and to love unconditionally, the way we love her and our Mama Mary. Again, great article!
