flying high flutterby
Success! There she is, Andrea Kay, with her cellist and drawings of her father, at the health professions conference in Atlanta, Georgia!
That was April 4th, her first presentation of her work.
I am sure she will travel far, and continuously, with her talk about connecting to her father during his last days. Connecting to the man she loved through the fog in which he lived, the fog known as Alzheimer's Disease.
This kickstarter project is dear to me. I have several friends working in the health professions field and I have shared this young woman's work with them. I will continue to do so as time marches forward, because dementia is widespread and heartbreaking to so many in this world.
Novel approaches are needed. Not only for those stricken with dementia, but for those who love them and those who care for them.
Pictures speak when words fail.
