Lady/Introduction

It is not grandmother's fault when she develops symptoms of dementia. She may be frightened or angry or confused. She might neglect her duties to her family or try to harm them, because she does not know what she is doing. But she is not evil or bad. She is only ill. A good grandchild does not fight her or hate her or fear her. When grandmother cannot be cured, a good grandchild picks up her work and carries it on, even if grandmother does not remember it. A good grandchild cleans up after grandmother. A good grandchild does what her mother tells her must be done. I know what I must do, now that grandmother is not well. The thing that I must do is to make a record of every type coin there is, because grandmother loved coins. I am a good child.
