If you’re visiting someone with dementia, bring a few old family photos. Don’t quiz them about names or dates. Just sit together and look. They may not remember who is in the picture. That’s okay. The photo can still bring comfort, a smile, a feeling. That matters.

October 7, 1998. Matthew Shepard was 21. Beaten, tied to a fence and left alone to die because he was gay. 28 years later, I still think about that fence. The cold. The silence. A young man who should have gone home that night. NEVER FORGET. May his memory be a blessing. 🕯️ #MatthewShepard
