I had an elderly man with dementia, he was soft spoken and didn't recognize anyone in his family, but his daughter would bring his wife (also with dementia) to visit him. The two of them would sit and watch tv together and smile and flirt from across the room. He would offer her the cake off his dinner tray. I asked him who that woman was and he told me he didn't know who she was... "but she is beautiful"<br /><br />Its amazing that even after the brain forgets, the heart doesn't.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13009499943984067217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4940428708135754172.post-86862681876082810872011-12-07T06:24:33.948-08:002011-12-07T06:24:33.948-08:00Sharon, You are right...seeing a person through th...Sharon, You are right...seeing a person through their eyes is so important. this woman was mute and it was only her eyes that communicated.

It takes a heart full of God's compassion to be able to see through the eyes of the elderly. People tend to forget that elderly people were once young and vibrant people such as themselves, fulfilling dreams and making their way through life. So yes, be thankful for the many blessings God has given us and when you have a chance to listen to someone whose life's journey is nearing it's end, listen.....I'm sure you were a gift to him as well. I have found that just being there for someone may very well be why we areSharon Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03665977644047573789noreply@blogger.com
