Joe began filming a weekly video series with his mother after she was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia.
He writes, “I made a promise to my mother, carers and other people living with dementia that we would make a difference and show the world the suffering that this disease brings.” “I intend to finish this series of videos .”
In Episode 6, he captures his mother forgetting who he is for the first time, which is heartbreaking, but the words she says at the end of the video are touching and emotional.
“I wasn’t expecting this today,” he writes. “It was the worst day of my life.”
However, Joe’s mom’s last words to him in the video are: “I love you so much. Don’t forget.” The moment reveals that although the cruel disease has taken away her memory of his name and her relationship to him, she still has her emotions and the feeling of love when she is with him.
