Such a lovely piece www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

My father, a handful of spoons and his journey into dementia

Looking through old cutlery was a safe haven for my dad after he became lost in ‘dementia land’

What an amazing story. This is happening in my family now with my father in law. 💔

Beautifully poignant.

As with my mum, who could get away from the mists with ballet and opera, not so much the spoons though. However she did like a silly parrot or cat video!

David thanks for posting 🙏💕 For any who've been 'there', it's exquisite.... for the rest, it's good preparation for a time to come, when you'll care more than you can ever imagine. A true love story.
