This is incredibly sad news. If you'd like to donate to Alzheimer's Scotland here's a link.

My dear friend has been diagnosed with a rare form of dementia and his daughters are raising money for Alzheimer's Scotland who have been so helpful to the family.

It’s #DementiaAwarenessWeek in Scotland and I’ve written a poem for my wonderful Dad. He amazes me how he uses humour to get through even the toughest of times, how he keeps on with his music, gardening, art, how caring and loving he is and always has been. Love you, Dad 💚 #Poem #PoetryCommunity
A green graphic with white writing. Storyteller The story—always funny Stutters in its telling As a word, a single word Flits from his head Gone—away in a whirl He looks at me then My Dad—always funny Eyes of mischief, now Searching my very own I take a guess, a gamble Yes—that’s it! He points At me in appreciation The story—still funny Scoots off his tongue I watch, I laugh, I learn But mostly I listen For I carry his vocabulary As well as my own Ellen Forkin.

This #DementiaAwarenessWeek, we’re recognising the importance of friendship when supporting someone with dementia.

When communication becomes more difficult, how we speak - and what we say - matters more than ever. 🧵👇

Other books are available
I like @matthaig1 's Comfort Book as the paragraphs/chapters are short
& it's easily dip in & outable of

sometimes I get a response
other times not
but the point is to show a person they matter enough for you to try
