It’s a Great #AlohaFriday when your fabric pattern matches-up on your #sewing project’s placket closure and on the shirt pocket!

No matter how devastating and cruel the disease, people with dementia always deserve the full measure of dignity, respect, kindness, and human rights.

There are no human "shells." If you have trouble believing that, please at least make the decision not to treat anyone like it.

Anticipating and avoiding conflict can be hard, but invaluable when providing support to a person living with dementia.

Caregiving is more than meeting physical needs. Ultimately, it is about giving, receiving, and sharing happiness.
