This Video Left Many Teary Eyed
Jul 22, 2019
Nothing in this World is bigger than your last wish and the person who helps you with that is even more lucky and blessed. Recently a group of young boys were chilling on the beach when suddenly an old lady came to them and asked to help her husband fulfill his last wish, to ride on waves. She also told them about his medical condition and the time he has left with him to live, the guys within no time got agreed and helped him. The old man was suffering from dementia and wanted to surf for the last time.
Ryan Giancola from North Carolina has shared the video and story of this whole incidence on his twitter.
Yesterday an elderly lady came up to us at the beach and asked if we could help fulfill her husbands wish to ride a wave one last time. She said that he is suffering from dementia and most likely has a year to live. What and amazing experience and on my birthday none the less! pic.twitter.com/RW0rdhugK6

Look up the Contented Dementia Trust online. They have excellent coping strategies. Good luck x

The memories I made while he lost his memory were memorable.
I was his mind and he was my heart.

Reminds me of the time I took my late folks to York Beach Maine. They had not been for over 30 years - they walked hand in hand which I had not seen in decades. Scattered some of their ashes on the beach
