I’ve heard many times that dementia makes a person more the way they truly are. There’s always a bit of truth in these aphorisms. I have had two friends and two relatives with dementia. They did, in fact show the same core characteristics i had known in them for many decades. Two loving people became more loving. One person became even more passive than he was all his life. And one retained a calm, controlled style until he died. We know what trump was like all his life. He is simply more himself than ever. (Shudder)

Thanks, Dean and Mary. Always helps to have another pin to stick into the doll.
