a child

"Our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."  a quote from a fb post by the Blue Ridge Believers September 28, 2018

Tony Bennett

John Colapinto wrote a very moving article for the AARP. It is about Tony Bennett and his Alzheimers.

I see that this is part of a series of articles by the AARP about Tony Bennett and his journey, that his family wants to share with us, to know, learn, and understand.

"... his expression had a masklike impassivity" made me cry.  I know that look so well.
