I would like to share this personal story of a dear friend, his name is Graeme and he lives with dementia. He recently shared his life's experience on a blog, posted on the Dementia Alliance International webpage. Graeme has been a participant in my TimeSlips program at the Port Macquarie Library, has kindly converted our collective stories into songs, and delighted the group with a performance.
