This is so good and resonates so well with my experience, both with parents in memory care and dogs. I loved how my dad's words ended up making a new kind of sense -- that "essence" you were mentioning. I also love the part about love. So true and so good even at the worst of moments.
So poignant and beautiful, Johanna.
Another great essay from Johanna Polus. What a gift to be able to discuss and develop such painful and essential experiences.
