📅10th April 2026 - Today is PPA Awareness Day📢
What does PPA mean for those affected?
💬 "You don’t notice it straight away, but when you do, it’s really annoying."
💬 "Speaking used to be so easy."
💬 "The words just won’t come out."

My dad can’t talk. He has PPA, a form of dementia.
He’s been crying for an hour. I wish I could console him but nothing I’ve done has helped. He will likely cry himself to sleep. I hope tomorrow is a better day for him.
