As a child, Maria loved walking in the garden, holding her grandmother’s hand. Nana made her smell the roses, being careful not to prick herself with thorns, and they both observed ladybugs, while they sang her song together. The funniest thing, though, was when Grandma tickled “ralet, ralet” in the palm of her hand. Time has passed, and now Maria is the one guiding her grandmother through the garden, smelling roses and watching ladybugs. Because Grandma has Alzheimer’s and she doesn’t remember Maria and the things they did together. She remembers nothing … except tickling Maria’s hand!
