Teaching my Alzheimer's patients today, the topic swung to children. The patients may be uncertain where their kids are, what they are up to, but they remember them, and list them with pride. So I gave them my heart, which aches right now with the departure of my one child to college. "You get used to it," said Paul, after long thought. "They are so much smarter than you, anyway. That's the point."
