For the yesteryear several years I stimulate got had a friendship amongst a solid unit of measurement inward New York City. We stimulate got supported each other’s efforts repeatedly.
The grandma inward this solid unit of measurement is real much similar my ain Great Grams was, as well as she also has Alzheimer’s disease. Many of the incidents as well as drawings inward my majority - Why Did Grandma Put Her Underwear inward the Refrigerator?: An Explanation of Alzheimer's Disease for Children - are based on Hailey, the granddaughter inward this family, as well as her interactions amongst her grandmother. Below is a video of Hailey reading my book, largely her ain story.
At vii years old, Hailey seems to innately empathise her grandmother’s Alzheimer's disease. They stimulate got a human relationship that helps hold last my ain human relationship amongst my non bad grandmother.

Here is Grandma feeding Hailey final year, when Hailey was sick. I all the same discovery it amazing how those amongst advanced Alzheimer’s tin grade notice all the same sometimes instruct it all together inward moments of emotional importance to them:
In November, grandma took a bad fall. Hailey was at that spot to render emotional support.
At i point, grandma was resisting showering. In Hailey’s mom’s words, “I tried to convince mom, as well as she started to agree, but when Hailey took over it was amazing! (The conversation was on speakerphone) Hailey: grandma, yous produce non desire me to last sad, If yous produce non allow Angie grade yous a lavatory I volition worry close yous as well as last real very sad! Gma: No! I produce non desire yous to last sad. I volition produce it!”
The inward a higher identify examples are simply a real few of the instances inward which Hailey provides the best inward tending partnering. The dearest she shares amongst her grandmother is inspirational to both.

Looking into the future, though, I tin grade notice run across that, iii or iv years downwards the line, every bit a resident doing eighty – 100 hours of travel inward the hospital, I won’t last able to hold running PuzzlesToRemember. When that fourth dimension comes, I could mean value of no amend individual to accept over my nonprofit than Hailey. She is smart as well as caring, as well as I mean value she volition brand some wonderful contributions to this field. I promise she fifty-fifty expands PTR, possibly yesteryear starting schoolhouse clubs of students regularly going to nursing facilities to engage the patients as well as travel on the puzzles.
Hailey has seen the sorry effects of elderly people taking falls. In response, she has already come upwards up amongst an conception take in that could assistance preclude falls for those amongst dementia. I know she has submitted her take in inward a national competition. If she wins, as well as I promise she will, I volition post service hither as well as part her take in amongst yous all.
