The six-sentence prompt from https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2022/10/02/maestro-if-you-please-its-a-6/ is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpOtuoHL45Y. They say music helps people, who suffer with Alzheimer’s to remember husbands, wives, or even children they have forgotten.
Earphones, gently placed over her greying hair, I hoped this would help her relive something from her past. As always, she glanced at me with a vacant expression, in a memory I couldn’t be part of.
Sometimes – over in the tick of a clock – she would call me Mum; say that she loved me; sometimes she saw my daughter, and thought she was me.
Either way I told her I loved her.
As the music gently flowed into her ears, she smiled at our favourite song, turned her blue eyes, the same as mine, and there was a sparkle in her eyes.
‘What took you so long,’ she said. ‘Dad and I were just having a cuppa, would you like one too?’

Listening to music sometimes also helps us forget husband and children. (sorry teasing) It does help us relax and help prepare for the coming cares of the day.

It does but zoning out the husband helps too

Oh, so very sweet! The music you brought inspired her to invite you on a walk down her memory lane.
A blessing for you both!

Love this touching story that speaks so eloquently of the fluid and strained relationship with a loved one with memory loss.
Music is a powerful help as is “being” where they are.
Beautiful six
