Thank you Bakhus Saba and friends for these beautiful songs that touch our heart. You might want a tissue handy. I know I needed a couple.
If you have a loved one who is no longer able to live at home or if you wonder what life might be like for others who can no longer live independently, this is a must listen to song.
Will you be moved to carve out time for a visit? Even a stranger can lighten a day of another. Will you be that stranger or friend?
Below is a song for those that care for someone with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia.

Lori La Bey talks with Author, Elvis Gardin, about the dynamics between a mother with Alzheimer’s disease and a son trying to protect and help her live the best life in her elderly years and at the end of life. You will hear their story of love, courage and battles and triumphs.
Elvis has written a book about their journey and how it
challenges even the best care partners intentions. Their story will make
you cry, cause you to laugh and provoke you to think more conscientiously how
you care for another person. The book, “Dimensions of Dementia” is a candid and
raw story which comes straight from the writers’ heart to yours.
