About the wonders of life.

Interesting. The varied personalities that emerge. In the state of dementia. Some belligerent and agitated. Others seemingly at peace. Jovial. Kindly. Gracious. Makes me wonder why. In pre-dementia days, some of ‘em were just the opposite of what they’ve become. A doctor told me that his father was a Lutheran minister. Never uttered a swear word in his life. Until Alzheimer’s.  And an outpouring of obscenities.  Maybe  he understood what was happening. Robbed of his mind.  He became angry. Maybe others tapped into the spiritual dimension. And found solace. To tell the truth, I don’t know. But I like to speculate. About the wonders of life. –Jim Broede
