What a great phrase 'verbal calisthenics' is! I wonder what the equivalent of pushups, crunches and jump-squats are? That will be a fun page to put together.
My Father has dementia and he’s always been the smartest person on earth. It’s weird when someone’s identity marker shifts. He’s still here, just a little more jumbled up.

What a beautiful tribute. Thank you for sharing. As a Voice Coach, I can imagine the challenge for her. Bravo, Mrs. Tongue 😜
Indeed, bravo. It was incredibly humbling to watch the woman I knew as flamboyant and effortlessly articulate scrabbling after words.
