Rush just mentioned a sound bite from the Santorum speech, a CS Lewis quote:
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words.
The significance of this quote is perhaps deeper for me than others. When my grandmother was in her declining years and had lost her sight, her speech and much of her hearing, my mother had a piano moved to the hall next the door to her room and would go to the nursing home and play for her every day. Even when she could no longer communicate, my grandmother would still hum the alto when my mother played the child’s hymn, Jesus Loves Me.
My mother knew the song in my grandmother’s heart.
They say that music is the last thing to go in dementia. It was for my grandmother.
What a beautiful sentiment. May we all be as blessed.
Wow thank you i lost my mom to Alzheimer’s
