Your program was very inspirational and made me think of my own mom, who at 88, has dementia. But unlike Marjorie, my mom, Sydney, has lost much capacity for speech due to the small strokes she's had. I realize how important speech is to the "new" relationship between Marjorie and her son. My sisters and I can still say "I love you" and mom says it back, we still hug and smile at each other - and sort of dance to the 40s music she loves. But when you subtract the ability to communicate the challenges to relate to each other are daunting.
