This story comes from my dad, who is taking care of my mom, an early to moderate Alzheimer's patient.
One of the typical symptoms for Alzheimer's patients is that they easily get agitated and nervous. My mom checks her wallet every morning to see if she has any money. If she finds that there is no money in her wallet, she gets anxious, upset and nervous. Knowing this, my father checks her wallet before going to bed at night and always makes sure there's a $20 bill in her wallet. Without fail, mom gets up in the morning, checks her wallet, discovers a $20bill and tells my dad, "I feel rich" and smiles. This brings a smile to my dad, a 78 year old, ex-military officer. :)
