Book excerpt: Breakfast Memories is the story of a daughter's journey through her mom's dementia and her discovery of the power of memories stored in the soul. What prompted me to begin writing this book was the discovery of a pile of paper napkins that had been tucked away in a drawer on which my dad had written morning love poems to my mom. Every morning he placed one next to the breakfast that he had prepared for her. I found these napkins after my dad had died and my mom was in failing health at a local nursing home. The discovery of the napkins (sonnets) and sharing them with my mother was what brought her back from the darkness and despair of dementia.
