15. My father and I helped the widow next door who was suffering from dementia.

She thought she had to leave her TV on so that the things she saw on it would actually happen.
We would mow her lawn, shovel her walk, and my dad would fix things in her house for her.
Fortunately, her son, who lived in Texas, was able to come up and rescue her.
She was a nice old lady, who lost her ability to function after her husband died.
So we helped her manage.
That's the kind of stuff that makes this world a wonderful place to live in.
