Last week Bill Fuller, our musician, and I were in Costco. All of the sudden a women gave us a huge smile, and then a huge hug, and then another huge hug. My mind was sorting through the various elders I have worked with over the years, and then I remembered her from a Move With Balance® with Music for Alzheimer’s/Dementia that we taught a year ago, June 2015. We remembered her, but the amazing thing is that she REMEMBERED us. We were warned that our clients would not remember us from week to week. But we knew they did, as each week they came into class and sang and responded to Bill’s original songs. What a truly amazing and lovely surprise that she remembered us a year later! Maybe not who we were exactly, but she remembered our deep, and loving connection.
