She Serenades Grandma With Dementia, Internet Weeps Seeing Grandma's Response

Dementia sorrowfully robs a person of loving memories and the ability to function cognitively. Those with dementia can become combative, increasing forgetful, and lose their sense of time. Doctors anticipate that dementia will impact an unprecedented number of individuals in the near future, but one thing remains the same – music has a healing touch. Research shows that singing can help dementia patients regain some of their cognitive skills.

That's why the compassionate granddaughter in the video below is singing to her grandmother who is nestled safely in her bed under a heap of blankets at her nursing home. The granddaughter told her beloved that she was going to sing to her and she responded, "I can't wait." The granddaughter begins singing Whitney Houston's hit "I Will Always Love You."

Grandma instantly becomes silent, staring at her granddaughter with emotions roiling across her face.
