Her sweet grandson tried reminding her who he was by making her look at his face. Chandler first came into the institution excited to see his granny and gave her multiple kisses.
The grandma was confused as to who the young man was and asked:
“Who are you?”
Chandler wondered if he had kissed the right lady, and his granny confirmed by remembering her own name. Now it was the gentleman’s turn to give his granny a hint:
“Take a guess. You see me every day, silly goose. Hey, what’s my name?”
The granny had a hard time remembering and failed at her first attempt, but after receiving a hint of her grandson’s name, she nailed it and celebrated with a nursery rhyme.
The video touched many as Chandler bonded with his granny and showed the world a glimpse of what it’s like to have a loved one living with dementia.
