  1. I think this was a beautiful gift. I’m a nurse who works with geriatric patients who suffer from dementia. I simple gesture like this would mean the world to anyone with dementia as they live in the past. Also its a great gift for family members to see their loved who lives in constant confusion, fear, pain, etc. To see them having a moment happiness clarity, and reliving a joyous moment from their past. IMO this is the greatest gift you could give to someone who suffers from dementia. Another great thing is just sitting down and talking to them, no matter how many times they repeat themselves or if you have heard that story a million times before.
