My Dad had dementia for years, and I'd "take him back" to his army days in Stuttgart by "walking" him down the streets. He'd sit next to me as I navigated, tell me where to stop, and then reach into his memory to tell me stories, then ask we go somewhere else. 5 minutes later, we were in Reykjavik at one of his old boarding houses!

Visuals are so powerful. This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
