A young woman called to tell me this story about her father.
She said:
“My father was given a Caring Coin as he was struggling with dementia. He called it his “Vermont power”. Being a Vermonter, he loved that it was made of wood. He would sit for hours and just rub the coin. It truly gave him great comfort."
She continued..."Daddy insisted that we put the Caring Coin around his wrist and would not allow anyone to remove it even when he bathed. He made is promise that his "Vermont power" would be with him always. And it was..."
I shared with this young woman how the the Caring Coin seemed to comfort my mother as she struggled with Alzheimer's disease. We both agreed that the ccin seemed to do what our words couldn't do...
Is there someone you would like to share a Caring Coin with?
