LIFE EXPLAINED, PART 108

Don't fret when an elderly loved one experiences dementia. Envy them. To a senile person, everything is new again, and they are as children seeing the world for the first time, their eyes wide with wonder and their minds filled with endless questions. But on the practical side, maybe sewing their address into their clothing and having all family members wear tags and with their name and family relationship printed in large block letters (e.g.- JACK, YOUR SON or MILDRED, YOUR WIFE or BILLY, YOUR WISE ASS GRANDSON and so forth) might be a good idea. Other than that, be glad of them. There's many a family who wishes their elders were still with them, no matter what. Love them hard when they need it the most, just like they did for you so many times without a second thought. Take care of your own.
