Not sure how to post a link, but if you go to youtube and type in the box Letter to Mom and Dad you will find it.

Although not a parent myself I do have family experience with siblings etc. I would certainly include this in any class targetted at parents young or old - we can all learn a bit more patience
Yes this isn't perfect but it still made me do a little tear.
Like previous posters have said. My MIL wouldn't remember a book or where to find it. And then she would probably never return to the garden bench because she would forget she had been there. But it has a message and it will have resonance with so many.
Today we went to a Garden Centre for lunch. MIL eats very slowly, so for appx 1 & half hours she repeatedly commented that it was a long time since she had been there and asked had I been here recently?
More importantly, she had a nice time, she went home with a full tummy which she repeatedly told me about and although by now she won't remember having been out she will remember she did something and it was enjoyable and she had a good day

I agree, Grandma Joan, this was more about getting a message across than being literal about Alzheimer's disease. I also teared up when I first saw it, and each time since.
About your MIL, I agree that the exact memory will be forgotten but I hope that the good feelings generated by her happy day out will endure.
Just watched your lovely video, Helen. I have not seen it before and I found it very moving. I feel it is not meant to be taken literally, but it certainly gives food for thought and should be more widely viewed.
Thank you for posting it.
