A few years ago my grandpa was diagnosed with lung cancer and dementia. So I moved in with him and took care of him. We would start every day with a shower/ bath, then I would make a good breakfast and give him his medicine. And after a mid morning nap we would drive out on the ranch and find a daily task to do. It was very important to me to keep him engaged in activities that made him happy and gave him life. Even though his mind was slipping it made me so happy to dream about the future with him into his last days. My main motivation is the experience I had visiting my grandpa in the assisted living home and watching him deteriorate mentally, physically and emotionally. If I could help just one person look forward to living and enjoy the time they have that's more than I can ask for.
