Your story really touched me, Courtney. I’m very glad you'll be writing more about the journey with dementia. I’ll soon be 85, and I’m deeply aware of how many folks are on that path in one way or another. I don’t know if you’re a John Prine fan, but he has a song called “Hello In There” that might be a fitting soundtrack for your narrative. It’s on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVhA01J0Zsg. It’s worth noting that Prine wrote the song when he was 22 while walking his mail route in Maywood, IL. Sometimes we can learn a lot about the world and about ourselves simply by getting out for a walk. Lots of love to you and John and the girls, and to your Dad and Mom...

Ah, thanks Parker. I don't know this song and will listen. Walking and wondering is the way to be. You've taught me that.
