Said the little boy, "Sometimes I drop my spoon." Said the old man, "I do that too." The little boy whispered, "I wet my pants." I do that too," laughed the little old man. Said the little boy, "I often cry." The old man nodded, "So do I." But worst of all," said the boy, "it seems Grown-ups don't pay attention to me." And he felt the warmth of a wrinkled old hand. I know what you mean," said the little old man.”

Oh @Norrms - that brought a tear to my eye.

Just on my way to visit Mum in her Care Home. She is 90, her conversation makes little sense now and her dementia is advanced, but your post has strengthened my constant aim to try just that little bit harder to make her feel that nothing has changed and she is just as valued as she ever was.
