Zephyr - a soft
gentle breeze of change
It came on without warning, there were no loud
noises a fanfare just a few tell tale signs. It
blew in as if on a gentle breeze, we all felt it as it brushed past us, noticing
slight things but not really seeing as it settled at mums door. Mum embraced all that she is and met it head
on, and defines the world to mean something for her despite the situation.
She dances as it breezes through her memory, some became distant and others drifted in and out like the fallen leaves of autumn, yet, holding no regret she faces each day as new. She has been a comfort and support as she still holds on to her humour and grace - she is all that she needs to be.

The dementia almost forces us to learn to use our senses in
a very different way, learn a new
language, see our lives differently. We have each been called for a purpose, to touch each
others lives, dig deeper make more effort, and go that extra mile as the
lives of generations are changed.
