Over the last two years we have gone to many groups and events held by Alzheimers Scotland. In the first year John was so active and still " with it " so I did not put him on the waiting list for day centre. This year he badly needed more company than I could give and I desperately needed a break.
Today was his first day of "school" and I checked he had enough money for his lunch and anything else which turned up. Made sure he was clean, warm and smart and then waited for the minibus with some nervousness.
The driver and both helpers came out to greet him and introduce themselves and the man on the front row was delighted to see him. Possibly from one of our Alz groups. He went off happily without a backward glance.
