We engage in delightful activities such as reading together, relishing the melodies she plays on the piano, tending to the birds in the garden, and immersing ourselves in the treasure trove of memories stored within her vast photo collection. However, as time passes, I notice a subtle change in Grandma's demeanor. Mum gently explains that Grandma is grappling with a condition called dementia, which affects her memory and cognitive abilities. Despite this, Mum assures me that Grandma remains the same person we deeply love, albeit with some slight differences.
