Thu, 2 February 2006  In this episode host Wayne MacPhail interviews Barbara and Charlie Wallis.
The couple live on a small farm about five miles east of Kincardine in Ontario. Several years ago, Barbara's father was stricken by Alzheimer's disease and, eventually was placed in a nursing home in nearby Lucknow where his wife visited daily for three years. Then, she too decided to move into the home. Now Barbara and Charlie visit them there.
They share their story of living in rural Ontario, with faith and with a parent whose mind has fallen victim to dementia.
