Keep storytelling its balm for my soul

This was really fantastic and completely relatable. When my Dad was declining with dementia, I had to deal with that exact same log in screen many times. Luckily he was only 10 minutes away and I could resolve the problem more easily. Some of my best memories of my Dad are the time I spent with him during his final 2-3 years: all the challenges of helping him with trivial tasks, listening to his delusional stories, being disowned several times, and his frustrations about losing his independence. Great story! And always happy to commiserate if that helps. 🙂
