My Grandma, who I’ve been very close to for many years now has dementia and can’t even remember who I am. That hurts; it really does, so I do understand how such conditions affect people but even I can see the funny side of what’s been said here.
Sometimes you have to just accept that people don’t always share the same opinions on certain subjects. Put your point across by all means; just accept others may differ in theirs.

i have the same situation, while going to pick my mum up from work today, i looked out of the car window to see a woman pushing a frail old lady in a wheel chair…the lady…hitting herself in the face and arms, then clapping herself for it….strange but upsetting none the less
i then noticed it was my aunt taking my nan for her first trip out in god knows how long, she barely remembers any of her family anymore, yet still talks to my grandad who died in 2001 about the little kids and how it was so sad what had happened to them, no one knows anything about this……the effects of dementia im guessing?
i miss stopping over on the weekends at my grandparents house, going to bed at night to my grandads war stories and other stories from throughout his life
it really does upset me sometimes, but to be honest….some of the things my nan does come out with..you have to laugh at,
if you dont, in my case…i end up locked in my room with my metal music on full belt while i scream or cry
everyone has their own way of dealing with things,i guess kev just cant see past the darker side of the situation
on your remarks about steve, i think his humour and banter are what makes hi who he is, think about those few months ago when we thought…What if he doesnt return….we would all miss his comments and jokes wouldnt we? i know quite alot would
we cant sensor humor can we!
