This is splendid. You’ve honored your father and shared his life in a respectful, honest way. What a wonderful opportunity for the both of you to share his treasured books. Brilliant idea to organize and keep his book collections and libraries.

My mom has had dementia over 12 years and she reads biographies daily. She has a stack of them next to her bed on her night stand. She has moved from her home, to our house and now lives in a care home and even though she may not remember what she read each day she loves reading hours at bedtime. Thank you for this glimpse into your dad’s life. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for your comments--and thanks also for the story about your mother’s continued reading, whether or not she remembers what she’s read. That’s a nice image.
