My wife and I care for my 84 year old mom who has dementia. Today is her companions day off, so I took her for a walk around the neighborhood.. We marveled at the different types of shrubs, flowers and lawn art. We engaged in conversations about the varieties of foliage all around us. Before she realized, she had walked quite a bit of distance. When I pointed it out, she was very happy with herself. It made my heart smile.
