@kmelkhat Loving this story and all the Christmas-y tweets. Missing our traditional celebrations in the US as we are down under for the next few years. Summer Christmas is not the same. My MN mother-in-law is like your mom, the best hostess. That’s how she shows her love.

What we commonly call #dementia "behaviors" actually are communication. We must view them compassionately and listen for the message.

@AlyssaNicole44 We thought the same!!

@AlyssaNicole44 Shhh well-kept secret 😉

Please re-Tweet to raise awareness that no person should be defined by their disease. A person living with #Alzheimers or another form of #dementia is a whole, unique and precious individual who may just need extra support, attention and love.

[Amy O'Connor @AmyOC118]

@AlyssaNicole44 I’m obsessed; like I need another game!

[Ian Kremer @LEAD_Coalition]

People living with #dementia are communicating about their needs, even if we mistake their actions for anger or aggression.
