Thread Name: did a show for Alzheimer's patients
Subject: RE: did a show for Alzheimer's patients
My mother-in-law suffered from alzheimers and at the end of her life she had already been 'gone' for quite some time. Although she couldn't walk or talk or relate to us in anyway ... she could still sit at the piano and play 'Now is the Hour'. Her husband is now in an intermediate care facility where I sing for the residents. ... music is a wonderful communicator and provides it's own rewarding community. Thank you to all of you who share your gifts ... you truly make us all happier people.
