Years ago, shortly before my grandfather died, my aunt who lived with him and was his primary caretaker went on vacation. He came to spend the weekend at our house. My mom did not give him his meds, and it was like he didn’t have Alzheimer’s. He was the man I remembered from my childhood. Auntie came home, back on his 20 pills a day, and he receded back to a shell of himself.
