Janet Magee Ian Kremer Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN Janet McGee The author & neurologist Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN also recognises the trauma & losses faced by plw dementia. But not as a reason to deny ppl support to live as well as possible. His father’s artistic talent was only revealed during throes of dementia - gave him purpose & value. Ppl matter.

Janet Magee Ian Kremer Daniel C. Potts, MD, FAAN Janet McGee I also think QOL depends on the relationships & support people experience. Loneliness & isolation can make the dementia journey so much harder.

“A Heart That Knows Your Name” is an original song I wrote in dedication to persons living w/dementia & care partners. The video features artwork by Ervin, Ann, & Lester, all persons living with/having lived with dementia.

So thankful some of Dad’s prints were among the silent auction items for Alzheimer’s of Central Alabama’s Garden Art Party in Birmingham tonight. We believe in this organization. They do vital work to help those living with dementia and care givers in our region.

Something Softer

It doesn’t take a great length of time to connect.
Just depth of time, with silence and awareness.
You have to put down roots into the ground of now
like a sycamore into the banks of the old Black Warrior.
Go and meet yourself down there sometime.

People living with #Alzheimers disease and other forms of #dementia , along with their carers, need and deserve more than our empathy. They need and deserve our unrelenting action to create a truly inclusive society.

Here he stands
with his shadow
and its black holes
which become
shining stars
in the light.
