Andrew has a heart-warming moment with his Mum. She has late stage mixed dementia - Alzheimer's and vascular - and rarely speaks. However the morning carers report that Carolyn said 'please' and 'thank you' when they offered her breakfast. Her son arrives soon afterwards to find her deep asleep. But, at lunchtime, the same happens again. Mum was always a great believer in good manners, and - deep down - they're still there. After she's eaten an entire tin of soup, Andrew tells her the week's family news, shows her some photos and they listen to a record before she falls asleep. He reflects on how grateful he is that Mum is well looked after, still has an appetite and is living where she always wanted to stay - in her own home. Mum and Me: The Dementia Diary was originally broadcast on 成人快手 Radio Leeds.
