With our schedule filling up with things she enjoyed, she was often smiling, and I could tell she trusted me and felt secure and had contentment despite having midstage Alzheimer's. Enjoyment of familiar pleasures was still possible, and these things had a soothing effect.
It was some years ago that I knew this lovely lady, but I still think of her with a warm glow when I hear piano music or have a Danish pastry. I was the caregiver, but to me she was the special blessing.
Dear Kristi -
It was great to hear from you again. Thanks so much for sharing this heart warming storywith all of us. It sounds like you nutured a wonderful relationship with your Danish friend! I could tell from your words how special this experience was for you.
If anyone else wants to share a story about a special relationship like Kristi, please post here. These are simply inspiring stories for us all.
