❤❤❤A beautiful piece. I never laughed so hard in the past 5 years as I did with my friend, Dannie, the 80 year old man I used to walk with. His dementia brought out beautiful old songs, and the most horrible limericks. I miss his company terribly. But it feels good to remember him and both of us laughing over the absurdity of it all.
Thank you so much for sharing this Laurie. You know that I work with people with dementia, and my father has it... I relate totally. Dementia is an excruciatingly painful journey for both the person who has it and their loved ones... but yes, yes we have to allow ourselves to laugh where we can. Disease whether physical or mental robs us of so much. To be able to still laugh is a bit of remaining grace. We treat our clients and family members with dignity and respect, but yes truly there are funny moments and so loving laughter is no offence. Those are the kinds of moments where the light still gets in💖
Coffee and a donkey 😂😂. These are such sweet recollections ❤

@@jennifernorfolk6244 I’m glad you can relate. I can only imagine horrible limericks! It’s sad and absurd at the same time. Thanks, Jennifer! 💕
