    Thanks, Michael! Very worthwhile and interesting videos indeed! 

    Since starting this journey with my mom my whole perspective on neuropsych symptoms and behaviors has changed. My view of the world has fundamentally changed too. I now recognize and understand these behaviors in ways I didn't before. 

    For instance I was once hurt and perplexed when an elderly lady in the grocery store lashed out at me in anger for returning to her the coins she had dropped (or flung?) on the floor. Now I recognize the dementia at work, and I understand--and have compassion. 

    Thank you for the video links!
