Ralph Potter was the first person living with younger onset dementia I ever met. And boy did I make some assumptions the first time I spoke with Jenny! What I learned? Every person you meet with dementia is the first person with dementia you meet, each story is different and every person unique. I was so very privileged to walk alongside Ralph and Jenny – I’ll never forget the story Ralph told me without any words at all. I’m so proud to be part of this wonderful charge to create and maintain Dignity in Care. It doesn’t mean we won’t make mistakes along the way (in the words of Frank Sinatra, I’ve made a few). So I urge everyone out there to nominate the people and the organisations that make a difference to you – and I know Ralph is looking down from wherever beyond and smiling coz he made that difference to me and forever changed me.
