Beautiful piece Amy! It brought me to tears. While I am lucky to still have my mom-mom, she has Alzheimer's and forgets who I am. I feel very similarly about her as you do your grandfather. Always my biggest supporter, believing in me so much. Your writing is a great way to keep his memory alive.

Thank you, Madison. I'm so glad you could relate - it's the lucky one's who can! I've also experienced the effects of Alzheimer's up close, and the challenge of finding humour amongst the heartache. All the best to you and your mom x
