The Apple Doesn’t Fall From The Tree….Until it Does!

Caregiving often shows up in the smallest, most unexpected ways. For years, apples with honey were part of Doug’s morning routine a simple comfort we both counted on. But now, some days he likes them, other days he insists he never has. It’s a reminder that with dementia, even the familiar shifts. I’m learning that letting go of the need to correct and instead meeting him where he is lightens the load, even if only a little. Sometimes it’s the little things like apples that reveal just how big this journey really is.
