What struck me was the description of your father's singing. My mother, who is 88 and has senile dementia, no short term memory and failing long term, can still remember and sing the songs she taught me when I was a child. I wonder if this is something that is retained in all folks with dementia or other brain injuries? Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
