This should be mandatory for aged care workers to watch! What a beautiful man, and fantastic mother. I have worked with dementia for years and this has touched me on a different level. Bless him

My God, same story. My name is Suzka, a wild-child artist, a painter and last person one would think to be a caregiver. But when my mother was diagnosed with dementia I was drafted. I had to leave my bohemian art studio in California and move to the Chicago suburbs...in winter. I was lost looking for some book that didn't give me suicidal thoughts. Couldn't find the book I was looking for so I wrote one. 'Wonders In Dementialand'. Even the ending is great!

The photographs are amazing and have brought tears to my eyes... well deserving of that standing ovation.

Toni, as I watched your magnificently transparent telling of part of your story, my eyes welled with tears and I had a lump in my throat. Just recently, my Mama was diagnosed with some form of Dementia. Thank you for confirming what I felt in my heart...
And you are an amazing son, which she knows very well. 🤗

I lost my Dad to Alzheimer's 3-1/2 weeks ago. I felt your heart through your talk, photographs, and paintings. What a beautiful way to honor your Mom and to give the audience a glimpse into who she was before the dementia tried to erase who she was and who you know she is. Thank you for sharing.
